A new computer for Dad

With work piling up in his practice, my Dad is again on the market for a new computer aside from the fine and dandy laptop I got him.

But now he's shopping around for desktop.

It has to be the same, or better specs that the laptop.

But I can't recommend that he get a Mac. He runs an architectural practice which is essentially CAD work, which, in turn, is essentially PC.

The iMac that can run Vista argument will not work either because he'll end up spending twice for something he can achieve with a pure PC. He does not need the premium features of Apple because he won't even use it much. His employees will.

Anyway, for the warranty and the tech support, we're getting him a branded desktop PC. He really does not need the top of the line specs. He basically needs a reliable machine.

But since I'm on vacation now, we will deal with that when I get back.

At least the frenzy of work has caught on. Even with my Dad, which is always a good sign.

Enjoy the rest of your week.

Side Prayers

PRAYER FOR GENEROSITY
Lord Jesus,
Teach me to be generous,
Teach me to serve You as You deserve
To give and not to count the cost,
To fight and not to heed the wounds,
To toil and not to seek for rest,
To labor and not to ask for reward,
except that of knowing
That I do Your Holy Will. Amen

THE LAWYER'S PRAYER
May every word I speak be from Your Truth...
I ask come from Your Wisdom...
May every case I handle receive Your Guidance...
May every heart, every life I touch, feel Your Love.

THE JABEZ PRAYER
And Jabez called on the God of Israel saying,
"Oh, that You would bless me indeed,
and enlarge my territory,
that Your Hand be with me,
that You would keep me from evil,
that I may not cause pain."

So God granted him what he requested.
