my father wouldn't let me send in 3 cereal box tops and a quarter for a captain video ring and my mother didn't sneak me a quarter and wouldn't let me quit the cub scouts to save a dime a week for the meetings and i was not the first on my block to have one. i did get it from the wimp who was - and that was just before i was playing poker.

Egypt will eventually rejoin the grownup club.

Not in this century as the
Muslim Brotherhood is instituting sharia law in egypt
as we post. A woman`s testimony is worth 1/2 of a mans
if consided at all.

I was going to be the first guy on my block to get that 76 mpg Porsche Spyder, but when they told me it took 12 hours to recharge, I decided the $845,000 could be better speat elsewhere. The truly banal will buy a couple of them so one's always charged.

This one will charge quickly(10 minutes or so):

Unfortunately, it won't be available until late 2012. And these tentative dates have a tendency to slip. You also have to put out for a charger that can handle the extreme voltages needed for the quick recharge. AVAV makes such a charger.

It will also dovetail with your portfolio(assuming you still own ALTI), as it will be powered by ALTI's battery cells.
