read the paragraphs below, read them slowly, and understand and think about what they are saying a bit....this is absolutely stunning....
The 10 percent of households with the highest incomes account for nearly a quarter of all spending, according to data compiled by research firm Moody's Economy.com from a 2006 federal survey.
Other government data show households in the top one-fifth of the U.S. population ranked by income earn about half of all total personal income before taxes—an imbalance that gives the wealthy immense economic clout, said Sara Johnson, an economist at the research firm Global Insight.
"Consumer spending makes up 70 percent

I've been meaning to say a few nice words about nHibernate. Here goes, nHibernate is good. There -- done. Really, using it now as the data layer for 2 current projects. One of them -- is destined to be portable, will run on Linux or Windows...this is where the nHibernate data layer shines....I'm using Sql Server on Windows and MySql on Linux, i data layer codebase serves both---really, I ahven't written a single line of data access code that is usable with only 1 of the db systems.....
very nice,
btw, I'll talk a bit about Linux soon, I'm using Ubuntu -- 7 -the Gutsy wonder!!!
it's pretty nice, very reliable, very simple to operate....

working with outdated hardware has its issues, one is NOT cost of memory!!! I was sorely hurting with performance here on these old Dell Optiplex 260's that my son donated to the cause...suffering along on 512mb, then I won an ebay auction yesterday....4 sticks, 1GB each, for $68.99.....quite reasonable, don't you think? The 260's max @ 2GB, so I'll have 2GB in the workstation, 1GB respectovely in the Windows & Linux servers....and then I can pile another 1GB from the 4 x 256 pieces for my old server, I call him "Hot Rod", he's a dual, that's right I said "DUAL", P3 750's -- currently humming along on 384MB of ram, that's right, that's one 256 & one 128, and last but not least, a screaming 8GB SCSI hard drive, yep, that's right, room to spare!!! Actually, when I realized I needed it again, it had been gathering dust for about 2-3 years, but it booted up just fine, amazing, I guess???
