I hate Bankers
We have been in the market for a new home and will be moving into one on the 21st of August. It is new and completely finished minus the carpeting the wife is very happy as the place we have been living in was built in the 60's. The difference are stark and the best thing is it is wired
Service Pack for Office 2003
