		<description><![CDATA[Dear Marge,
I&#8217;ve decided that I want to be Scandinavian.  They have the most well behaved people, the finest cycle paths, and Abba.  Not to mention the fjords, saunas and smorgesbords.

I&#8217;ve also realised that, after half a lifetime of using PCs, Macs are better. 
Am I having a mid-life crisis?
Dave.

I have recently signed up to Facebook, but I&#8217;m not sure why.   What is it?  What does it do? Why do I need it?  So far, I don&#8217;t really get it.  And my wife tells me that I&#8217;m too old to have it.  Is she right?
