    Yeah, but I remember those days, too. Floppy discs, perforated paper. I can even go back further than that. How about System 360. The singing chain drive printer. Ah, those were the days. No spam, no hackers.

We would rather you just said thank you, and went on your way, Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon, and stand a post. Either way, I don't give a toot what you think you are entitled to.

    So. I take it that you three can not only re-write poll questions, but you can also "cast" multiple votes, huh? I thought that my original questions provided a better choice ........

    It's all done with fairy dust, Ken. Chris gives us an unlimited supply. You can even remove the rust off gold with that stuff.
