    Lawn care IS SUCK!!!

    << We recently got new neighbors that don't care for their lawn >> You could trade houses with me, I'm just like they are, except even weeds can't live in my lawn.

    Disk Defragmenting

    There's these. Don't know about speed, but how much slower could they be than the win98 built in one? here are some other sites I can't tell you a whole lot about, but which may be useful: www.raxco.com -> I used this until my demo license ran out. I liked it well enough (on NT)...

    Why is Google all Korean'ed out?

    << I don't know, but I wish they'd have a feature to filter out search results from pages that &quot;contain characters that cannot properly be displayed in the summery&quot; cause I never can use them anyway :) >> Look on advanced page and select &quot;English&quot;. It's not perfect, but...

    U.S. Economy down the tubes or bound to rebound?

    It's already pretty much crashed, so I doubt there's another crash coming. I think that fact that it crashed (well, the stock market crashed), and things are still not all that bad is pretty encouraging. Don't hold your breath waiting for it to come back to what it was, though. Japan is a...

    U.S. Economy down the tubes or bound to rebound?

    << You did not use the poll feature. >> Nobody ever does. The 90s were probably a fluke. 5-6% unemployment is considered pretty good historically. I think the combination of the end of the early 90s recession, the growth of the internet and relative peace and stability in the world...

    Any old folks here ?

    Ha Ha. I bet I'm the only one here besides you that knows what Reve-ah Beach is. Italian guys with lots of gold. Or was that 20 years ago? Oh yeah, the question. 41, although having little kids makes me feel younger (in an exhausted sort of way). It seems like a pretty nice night here in...

    The real enemy: Hamas

    These guys are not anything that people like us are ever going to &quot;understand&quot;. In a weird way they're the soul mates of guys like Ariel Sharon, they're only relevant when there's a war. If there isn't a war, then go cause one.

    Poll: War in the middle east with in 6 months?

    << << I wouldn't be surprised to find out they've gone soft >> Israel go soft?!?... lol... I have a lot of family in Israel... and they are some of the toughest, hardcore people you'll ever meet. -Max >> Hi Max. Didn't we just do this? Yeah, but what were they like in 1972? That's...

    Poll: War in the middle east with in 6 months?

    I don't think there are any actual people in Saudi Arabia, just a couple dozen sheiks and some slaves. Maybe things have changed in the past 30 years, but I would be willing to bet the Jordanian, Egyptian and Syrian armies are still a bunch of bozos. Maybe I'm a lot older (41) than the rest of...

    Poll: War in the middle east with in 6 months?

    There won't be an actual war, the Arabs aren't up to it and they know it, and the Palestinians don't have any real means of self defense. You will see a lot more of what the press calls &quot;terrorism&quot;, and it will spread beyond Israel's borders. As I recall the term...

    A little help with MS Access '97 please

    You need to do a left join, not an inner join. If you're using the wysiwyg screen I think you have to right click on the join line, select properties, and say &quot;include all records from table 1 and records from table 2 that match&quot; or something like that. The default is an inner join...

    Ah, yes, the wonderful Chinese government -- now helping to build Iraqi air defenses

    I wouldn't be surprised if China starts selling goodies to every Arab country in the Middle East, if they aren't already.

    What do you guys think of Pontiac Montana Minivans?

    Take a look at this and this. One is not so bad, the other is. I spent a lot of time shopping for vans about a year ago (I never actually got one, we crammed the third car seat into the back of our 94 Explorer). Not the one I would pick (but I don't live in Michigan), but's probably fine...
