Agree, but those of you around in the late 80's may remember the Upside Magazine cover article entitled: "Has Silicon Valley Turned Pussy?" It had John Sculley dressed up as little boy blue sitting in a sandbox with an Apple computer made of sand. There was a large leg with "IBM" tatooed on it kicking over the faux sand computer.

The basic point made by a bunch of articles in there was that the valley was being run by a bunch of whinner VCs & spineless mgmt. That issue stirred up shit all over the world.

Funny thing is that those guys were studs compared to the next generation of koolaid drinking dot communist punks as we all now know (remember, I the King of Gold, was accused in this very chat room of not getting it-where are all those schmucks now?).

How can I completely hate a country in which great food and wine are a central part of the culture? <g>
Why do you think the Germans keep dropping in? :-)
