Saturday Report, 10/13/2007 6:45 AM ET

I am at a bit of a disadvantage this week. See ADDENDUM

I have been traveling, and as you may appreciate, technology does not transport easily. My laptop Windows XP crashed and is now in for repair, my extra monitor doesn't display, my printer stopped printing, my digital camera docking station stopped recharging batteries, and my paper shredder just stopped shredding.

So, the Week In Review will be deferred until I have my laptop returned from the repair shop, which I am hoping is the end of today, not some day.
