I don't see how this is an 'ability'. No one was born with this gift.
The beauty of being able to pass on information via printed or spoken
means is the real gift.

Ya gots to hear 'em before you can pass anything on, 'tard boy.

You'd better get busy.

Wow..that would make my bought used Realistic dxAce-160 a winner! Thank
you for the reaffirmation of my obviously well honed shopping sense.

LOL, comparing a DX160 to an HF150 is like comparing a 1970's pinto( the
160) to a 1990's Honda Civic. You have to at least a certain level of
performance, and the 160..doesn't.

Then why is the receiver at the bottom of the list? And where's the
popcorn? It's not even ON the list!

Well...
I happened to have HAD a 1972 pinto when it was new. It had headers and a 4
barrel carb. It would eat 914's and 240 z's for lunch. Of course it's no
match for my 300ZX but was a decent performer. for it's time...

No, it just doubled your chance of an explosion.

Heh. My grandmother used to drive a Pinto
wagon. I remember feeling very uncomfortable
in that car once the gas tank explosion reports
started to surface.

Do you remember which comic it was who told a joke that the US Army
was going to replace its battle tanks with used Pintos, and back them
into battle?

Michael A. Terrell
Central Florida

One time I was driving down the freeway (in my Pinto) at rush hour not
really paying attention. I looked ahead and realized everyone was stopped.
I hit the brakes HARD then as an afterthought, looked in my mirror. The guy
behind me was not paying attention either and hadn't started braking yet. As
I came up to the guy in front of me, I started to panic about the guy behind
me and pulled into the center dirt area. Sure enough, the guy behind me
skidded right into the car that was in FRONT of me and shoved him into the
car ahead of him! I have often wondered if I would have been another Pinto
statistic had I not gotten out of the way...

That was fast thinking,skidding that Pinto over to the dirt.I once saw a
woman,she so uglyyyyy,she made a Freightrain take a dirt road.Speaking
of that,Emperor of the North movie is on tv in a few days.I put it in my
webtv reminder thingy and I also put it in my DirecTV thingy so whatever
other movie is on tv,I won't miss it.
