Hi Tom Thanks for that great quotation..... pure truth. That is an amazing read. Yes, the critics will always far outnumber the doers. I hope the new year finds you happy and healthy, my friend. Scott

looking to buy the Harley of computers - a P IV, 1.5 Ghz beast with * 512MB's of Rambus RDRAM for an additional $1000 ! !* on top of the already base price of $2700. properly loaded: $3976 plus tax and shipping hmmmm ------ from the Dell glossary pages: RDRAM® Rambus Dynamic Random Access Memory, a type of memory which operates at much higher frequencies than conventional 66 MHz or 100 MHz SDRAM. RDRAM® is able to load a new stream of data before the previous stream has completed, resulting in less waiting time and therefore faster access speeds. By selecting PC800 RDRAM memory, you will maximize the performance potential of the Pentium 4 based Dimension 8100. The micro-architecture of the 8100 allows for up to 3.2 GB/sec data throughput on the system bus (bus between processor and chipset). With PC800 memory, the memory sub-system bus (bus between memory and chipset) will also provide up to 3.2 GB/sec of data throughput.

the cynic Recognizing the essential nihilism inherent in cynicism, I agree it is to be avoided. There is this one area where I'm a "back slider". The problem is there are just too many highly skilled practitioners of the "art of politics" that insist on keeping me cynical. lurqer

Amazing Tom! I had no idea Teddy knew the dybbukim-clootie clan so well...... LOL Sorry about my little outbursts on your thread from time to time Tom. Sometimes I find it best to go toe to toe with the morally & ethically challenged for a few rounds. I know going in that reality, truth & facts are not going to faze them or even slow them down. It's just nice to confirm for all to see that this is what they are all about. Talk about different strokes for different folks 'eh? Ö¿Ö

Good stuff, V-man, and so true. How did you come up with this? Btw, you don't suppose TR's words could apply equally to the liberal PRESS, do you? <g>
