I agree except for the part about Yahoo. Yahoo users are by far the most articulate and polished people on the Internet. 
Sometimes the true reward for completing a task is not the money, but instead the satisfaction of a job well done. But it's usually the money.

AOL is a company that donated millions of floppy disks to people so they could re-format them.
Saved me a few dollars.

To be fair defragging on modern enormous hard disks running NTFS is far less necessary than it used to be.
And I'm sure they do know less, because the only reason you'd ever have started using them is if you didn't know it was a bad idea, and the only way you'd still be using them is if you hadn't worked out it's a bad idea since.

Had to recheck the date of this post. People who use AOL? In 2014?

At least 3 or 4.

I'm going to be taking a month long road trip from FL to AZ and points beyond, my National Parks tour I've been planning for some time. Anyway I'm getting a Samsung tablet to keep personnel info on and use for reading when I stop for the evening and maybe some lite internet. Anyway I've scoured the App store for a Personnel Assistant app that has; a calendar, Todo list, alerts, contact list, notes but haven't found one app to rule them all. 
Anybody got any ideas?
Also I'm picking up a car in Jacksonville, FL and taking I10 all the way to AZ if anyone knows of any neat places, parks, interesting things to see that aren't to far off my path would suggest a heads up. I have 5 days to get there so am going to take my time.

You might have better luck if you spelled it correctly.

My place is just off the I10 in Phoenix, but it isn't very neat. Would you be interested in viewing my small DEC museum?
In Phoenix we have the Desert Botanical Garden http://dbg.org/[^], the Heard Museum http://heard.org/[^], the Musical Instrument Museum http://themim.org/[^], and a decent ball team. That's about it really.
You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.

My 1st destination is Phoenix, that's where my brother lives and we are going to radiate out from there when he gets time off work. When he's working I plan on some solo trips and might stop by I'll contact you when I get there.

I have friends in Phoenix and I second the recommendation on the Desert Botanical Gardens. Not expensive and a nice diversion.
If you get farther west you have Valley of Fire State Park outside of Las Vegas. And if you have the time, Death Valley. I try to go to Death Valley every winter, but did not make it this year.
My bucket list contains: 1) North rim of Grand Canyon; 2) Monument Valley/Four Corners; 3) Nevada Great Basin on US 50.
Safe travels.
What, me worry?

Had thought about it if there's time.

I'll be about 3 weeks behind you. Are you a photographer? I plan on taking a LOT of pictures.

I used to be, back when we had real cameras. I prefer black and white and used to have my own darkroom.

Digital cameras have come a long way and I love mine. (Nikon D7000)
Spent 1-1/2 months with my brother-in-law going through the NW in his semi about 2 years ago and took 5K pictures with the D5000 I had at the time and got a lot of really good shots. But about 90% of them were from a moving vehicle and this time I intend to stop when I see an interesting shot.
