THE NEWS HACK'S CREED:
I know more than you.
I make lots more money than you.
I'm smarter than you.
I'm sexier than you.
I appear on TV all the time.
I work ten minutes a day.
I rule the universe.
I'm going to live forever.
You are an idiot.

THE NEWS HACK'S CREED, No. 2:
A lie isn't a lie when it tells THE TRUTH.

THE NEWS HACK'S CREED, No. 3:
I've come to realize that the looseness of the journalistic life, the seeming laxity of the newsroom, is an illusion. Yes, there's informality and there's humor, but beneath the surface lies something deadly serious. It is a code. Sometimes the code is not even written down, but it is deeply believed in. And, when violated, it is enforced with tribal ferocity.
--JOHN "OMERTA" CARROLL.

THE NEWS HACK'S CREED, No. 4:
News isn't news when we don't report it.

Well, see you on Monday! I don't like the enforced exile, but you will get this when you install memory cards the wrong way. I did get a replacement -- a LENNY! (And a monitor too.) It's "refurbished" merchandise from an eBay seller, but considering the number of outfits flogging it I wouldn't be surprised if Len's holding a fire-sale of new goods from the old manufacturer, much as Sony did last year with MiniDisc recorders, a greater likelihood given they carry a one-year warranty (new on Lenny's PCs is three years), whereas similar goods from HP on uBid carry ninety days'. It's an INDUSTRIAL-STRENGTH model with XP Pro, which is okay by me, even if I just bought the Home edition. I suspect Len will be strictly laptops before long; anyone can make a box. Never mind that nearly anyone can make a laptop too.
