I wonder what kind of advice-giver I have been over the years.
And what kind I will be from here on out.
I just learned about this on Clark Howard’s site. I’m on a very slow dial-up connection here at home, so I’ll have to wait to download some of these programs.
Meanwhile, though, I present to you….
