Thanks for the email. I always appreciate the update on the family, and the enthusiasm with which you present it.

That is too bad about the heater. Hopefully you will be able to get it replaced. Here in NY the heat is usually radiator or baseboard, which works well but the systems are usually old. A lot of the things here are old.

So, I am excited to be getting back into the computer world again. It will be fun seeing all the new stuff that comes out. I would think that putting together a couple of new systems would be good. I can’t believe that my mission easily is encompassed by the development of longhorn/vista/avalon. What would be the best OS to use. WS03 or WinXPsp2 still? Wow, 2 years and the same OS. Is it possible to do Second Life on linux or is that out of the question? Is RedHat 7 cds or 8? I don’t even know what the specifications of a “good” box will be. I think that you will have to give me a crash course on technology.

Things have improved with my companion and district leader. I went to President Searle for some advice, and that has helped. I am just going to do the best I can, but I do admit that the day count can be motivational. We’ll just keep going.

I hope you have a good week and that everything at home is doing okay. Let me know what more I can do. I am glad to be able to email individually now. I think it has helped for everybody. I haven’t got much email from anyone else. But, that is alright. I’ll see everyone at home soon enough.

I love you very much and again thank you for the email.
Love,
Your son,
Elder Stephen J. Barr
