ErmMicrosoft didn't 'get it right' with Xbox360. When you 'get it right' with a product you don't run into issues like the red ring of death. Also their lack if foresight in not having a HD optical drive built in is disturbing (HD DVD might have had a chance if they'd done that). But yeah, by

Just about any smart phone currently on the market should be able to replicate all those functions except the laptop. Depending on what you'd use the laptop for it might do that to. Otherwise a netbook or smallish notebook might be your best bet. -Original Message- From: Maureen [mailto:

To be fair neither can you till you've been put in that situation. History is filled with people who swore they'd never do this or that even to save their own lives and then found out they were wrong. It's also filled with people who died for what they believed was right. You just can't know which

That's pretty irrelevant to the discussion at hand Larry. As I keep pointing out, reenacting a unit doesn't mean that you support what they did. Personally I don't see anything to defend in doing reenactments of any unit throughout history. If you can show some sort of evidence that he's a Na

The great thing about anything above the local level is that most of the candidates have held some sort of office before. Any time you've got someone who's held a political office you've got a public record of what they really stand for. I generally ignore the campaign as much as possible and star
