My main computer died on me about a week ago. Not a problem as it is a cheap very old XP box that cost £30, about US$45 (I use a cheap one so that I know what my sites look like on the most basic machine a surfer is likely to use, and keep my best machine for film editing, games, and other software that needs the extra ooomph). When I opened that up I found it full of mouse shit!

That is one of the reasons I could never live in the US. My dental treatment is subsidised, biggest bill I ever had was £50, about US$75, and the dentist apologised for it being so expensive! Hospital treatment is free. Meds you pay about the equivalent of US$12 per prescription regardless of however many pills are on it. I have multiple problems, and talking to someone on another board once, my med charge would be several hundred dollars a week in the US. At the point we were talking, I was making less per week than the US cost of my meds (I have several problems). And these are not pain killers or other medicine to make life bearable, these are meds that are keeping me alive. In short, if I lived in the US, I'd be dead by now!
