<danamania> yeah but it's ok, I took them off first.

If you had to identify, in one word, the reason why the human race has not achieved, and never will achieve, its full potential, that word would be 'meetings.' --Dave Barry

Computers in the future may weigh no more than 1.5 tons. --1949 Popular Mechanics

Hi. I don't care. Thank you. --Angel, ace tattoo artist and Mac geek

I have a spelling checker It came with my PC;
It plainly marks four my revue
Mistakes I cannot sea.

Its letter perfect in it's weigh,
My checker tolled me sew. -- Janet Minor
