RE: laptops
Thanks Ben for getting my thread off to a ripping start! However you do address a viable point about laptops, and thats that you have to pick a brand that has good servicing. Japaneese laptops like Toshiba and Sony are good, but if the thing breaks, they wont fix it, and your stuck with an expensive piece of junk. Thats why here in the US, its good to buy brands like Dell, who have the best servicing you can get, and make sure you have a good warrentee for your laptop. Thats why Ive started this thread, is that Im curious what the options are for brands and servicing in other countrys. For example Ive heard theres a brand in holland called tulip computers thats really good. And Ben, as far as sticking with a desktop, you ought to check the specs on laptops such as winbook who offer P4 2.4 processors, 512mb DDR RAM, SXGA screen, 64mb DDR video memory, 4 USB ports, firewire port, the list goes on. A set up like that can handle any kind of gaming, and the screen on a laptop is alot better on the eyes than a CRT monitor. Let me tell you, I dont like being chained to a desk for my internet experience. And when wireless networks like ricochet become more common and well known, then there will be no reason at all to be stuck at home for internet.
RE: Kyoto Accord. Who has signed i
Hand87- Please read over this entire thread. Youll see theres really only two points of view, either that the US is the worlds largest polluter and that they have to curb their pollution under the kyoto standards or that the whole kyoto treaty is a bunk sceme by europe to compete industrially at that kyoto treaty does not accurately measure pollution at all nor does it address any kind of pollution reduction. Theres no middle ground, theres nothing to discuss, kyoto is either bunk or its not.

RE: How old are you?
adonis- I was engaged to be married, but found out the US has a rather negative attitude about men marrying a foreign wife, which is why Im not living in the US anymore. So your assumption is right, not being married has alot to do with me having a little to much time to be spending on aviation sites.

I found this webpage that Ive provided a link for that mentions c at the end of words being a sort of place name.

RE: How old are you?
vortex- No they dont call me gringo, they call me wey-ro (R is rolled). You see buey means ox, but if you pronounce it wey, it becomes rude for some reason. So everyone calls me wey-ro, kind of like hey dumb-o.
