Like many others on this list, I had to sign up for Uncle Sam
Screwge's draft at the local post office, but at least now I'm too old
to have to go. Sorry that he and 'W'easelboy's daddy snagged you into
the gulf-war as one of their experimental guinnea pigs. Hopefully you
won't get called back into part II of the Bush/Hussein family feud.

By the way... today the Sears repairman arrived to verify the validity
of complaints from my parents about their new washer and dryer
(absolute pieces of cheaply-made and annoying junk - beware) that
replaced approx. 25 and 35 year old machines that were well made and
worked nicely (until Sears/Whirlpool discontinued parts to repair them
with). His eyes nearly popped out of his head as he looked around at
my collection of electronics and computer equipment; as he was
leaving, he remarked that he hopes that no one calls the eff b aye
about what all I have, as they might think I'm "building a satellite
or something." Zog! Now, are those of us in the US to be considered
criminals because we collect, build and hack all sorts of computer and
electronics equipment as a harmless hobby (or is the knowledge and
ability to do this now considered dangerous by our elected idiots,
since they obviously lack the ability to think intelligently about
anything?)?
