Florida, you're so over
Posted by David Warner on Fri, Jul 11, 2008 at 4:35 PM
That's the doomsday message in a current Time magazine article entitled, ominously, "Is Florida the Sunset State?" (sunshine, sunset, ha) and subheaded with a litany of the state's troubles: "Water Crisis, Mortgage Fraud, Political Dysfunction, Algae Polluted Beaches, Declining Crops, Failing Public Schools, Foreclosures."
We're the state that has it all!
Author Michael Grunwald allows that the winters are nice, and has a conversation with Gov. Crist that brightens his outlook a bit, comparing the guv to "human Prozac." But the overall tone is grim, ending with the point that Florida may know how to grow, but has yet to learn how to grow up.

No one likes a Windows XP slow startup.When you startup your computer you want it to be ready to use immediately. I can not make it that fast, but I can help you fix Windows XP slow startup.First step to fix Windows XP slow startup is to find out what programs are loading when you startup Windows XP. To do this click start, run, then type in msconfig and hit enter. Look at the Boot.ini tab. In the box labeled Timeout change the time from the default 30 to 3. This changes how long it waits to before booting.
