Featuring original artwork by creative and generous children, they donated their artwork knowing it would help children less fortunate. 100% of the profits from the sale of this unique calendar will be donated to Our Lady's Missionaries.
This fundraising calendar showcases children's artwork that was temporarily removed from their fridge while the family house was up for sale. Marty MacPhail of DesignStyleTaste.com explains …
"As a Design Coach, we recommend that House Sellers remove all distractions from their house when preparing it for the resale market. This includes clearing off their fridge. And usually that's where families proudly display their children's artwork. In essence, we're asking them to temporarily close their family's art gallery. This makes us feel sad. Kids' artwork is so bright, honest, uninhibited and creative. It should be on display."... (Continue reading)

CompAmerica's COO, John Davis, Jr., at a recent press confence, announced changes in the way CompAmerica was approaching what he called "extreme performance computing at an affordable price":
To begin with, when we first introduced the Orca 9096 in December, by the end of May we had sold out our entire production run. This was not that surprising, it was a gamble we deliberately took: entering the market first. As an early LGA-775 -- EM64T based Laptop with PCI-Express, it was well ahead of the marketplace. It became so popular, in only a few days after its introduction, anticipating we might sell it out, we immediately began work on the 9097 and the 7000x models, following Intels production curve carrying its chips up into the 64Bit 'performance area. That is why we equipped them both with PCI-Express 16x Video adapters, in fact, several choices, for different needs. Since then, weve certified the machines for use with Microsofts Windows XP Professional / 64 bit, but are still waiting for the final steps in driver testing, before we release this operating system. Thanks to the fact that our three new 64 Bit laptops, including the 9096 and the 7000x, are backwards compatible with 32 bit technology, they ship with and run Windows XP Professional like a dream, without the 64 bit extensions of Microsoft's new 64 Bit Windows. Our third model, the Orca 6400x based on the AMD 64 CPU, is also a dream of a laptop, which with its 17 inch screen, gives CompAmerica the clear lead in 64 bit laptop technology."...
