Old Toy New Toy
I suppose this is what people mean when they say one mans trash is another man's treasure. I was ready to sell off my old PC but I suddenly figured its time to follow through on that long considered and often mentioned but never really done task of having a linux-based desktop.
Usually there's not much use for PC specs, invoices and manuals once the first week is out. So normally we tuck all the warranty cards, manuals and boxes in a safe storage for future use, in case one of them breaks down or goes amiss. I still have all the specifications for my old PC - its stored in an makeshift overhead compartment in my room, together with winter clothes and lots of odd end stuff that I think will only be used seasonally.
And I've thought that I'm never going to need them again.. until I decided to try out installing some sort of linux distribution. I've heard about needing to be aware of your PC configuration clearly to install linux, so I definitely needed to get those specs out. Just the thought of having a linux based PC just gives me the giddies, for some strange reason. It must be all the nice customizations I've been putting on in my office pc, and missing them out when I get home to my Windows desktop every night.
First thing though, I'd have to get out the ladder. Yes, the makeshift compartment is way up there. I placed everything in my altec lansing 2.1 2ftx1.5ft box. Needless to say, its big , its filled, and its heavy. I'd have to muster all my shoulder weight training to get it to balance on top of my head before slowing coming down from the ladder while balancing it, hoping against hope that it doesnt lose balance and fall all over the floor with a huge and messy thud. Never happened so far, and I dont want it ever happening to me.
And I've been doing this several times over the week. Not a fun thing to do.
So I decided to just post the specs here... for my reference. Its fun to find out that generally a linux installation will take considerably less minimum requirements than a windows OS, so your old PC doesn't go off to the junkyard too soon. Plus I needed to stop doing those irritating up and down the ladder trips to my overhead compartment.
Without much further delay:

IFLH volume trading is beginning to surge with landslide Announcement. The value of this
stock appears poised for growth! This one should not remain on the ground floor for long.
BREAKING NEWS!!
InterFinancial Holdings, Corp. (OTC Pink Sheets: IFLH - News) announced that they have added
David Cain to their board of directors. David Cain is currently the Chairman of the advisory
board to TTI (Texas Transportation Institute). Senator Cain represented Senate District 2 for
eight years in the Texas Senate and Chaired the Senate State Affairs Subcommittee on
Transportation and served nine terms in the Texas House of Representatives for District 107.
During his twelve years as Chairman of the House Committee on Transportation, Senator Cain�s
efforts on behalf of the people of Texas have been widely recognized. He was named to Texas
Monthly Magazine�s list of Ten Best Legislators, the Dallas Morning News said he was one of
the outstanding legislators of the 73rd session, and the Texas Department of Transportation
awarded him the Russell H. Perry Award in 1995 for his efforts to gain public awareness of
the need for and benefits of transportation facilities in the State of Texas.
Jeffrey C. Bruteyn, Managing Director, stated, We at InterFinancial are proud to have such a
widely recognized Senator join our board and oversee out automotive lending division. His
affiliations and connections to the automotive industry will be invaluable to our company.
Senator Cain will be instrumental in expediting our approval to use a government issued Seller
Finance License.
Seller Finance Licenses are very difficult to obtain and are usually reserved for the Big Boys
with heavy lobbyists. These licenses are highly coveted because it allows the finance company
to collect the entire down payment, instead of paying a portion of it to the taxing authority.
This dramatically helps a finance company�s bottom line if the buyer defaults on the loan.
With the new GPS tracking systems being installed on every car to dramatically improve
repossessions and with Senator Cain on the Board of Directors, InterFinancial Holdings
is ready to take their business to the next level.
Conclusion:
The examples above show the Awesome, Earning Potential of little known Companies
That Explode onto Investor�s Radar Screens. This stock will not be a Secret for long.
Then You May Feel the Desire to Act Right Now! And Please Watch This One Trade!!
