WTF? can we get back on topic here? this is stupid. anyway, in my attempt to
bring this back ontopic, I found a compaq portable II. other than the floppy
drives, is there any difference between the II and III models?

parts of
 Turkey, etc, would be under about a km of glass), thereby reducing the air

for
 a couple of thousand years, so folks lucky enough to survive here on Earth
would

 It's possible someone might come up with a solution more compatible with the
 interests of the folks who are central to the mid-east struggle, however, but
 this would certainly end the fighting.
