What does that have to do with George Bush? Certainly. But of the Clinton Administration, where all this happened during... Not the current Administration. I have NOT been living in a cave, and again... How is that the fault of the Bush Administration? If you haven't noticed, his actions have caused the oil prices to start to go back down. Oil prices ALWAYS peak in Winter, and threats of war in the Middle East ALWAYS cause Oil prices to go up, whether the Oil supply is threatened or not. To suggest that Bush leave Saddam to continue to develop WMD's, build up a military to attack his neighbors, and to murder and torture his own citizens is selfish in the extreme. It's a price we have to pay to secure the future safety of the U.S., and the region. AND the major supporters (read $$$$) of the Clinton Administration AND ALL political parties... Any smart major corporations funds BOTH parties... Great to hear that. But, because it's taking longer than you or I would like, doesn't mean they are standing Idlely by... I have myself. And I lost my good job not because of Action of the Bush Administration (that has only been in office about 28 months... But due to the actions over 8 years of the previous one. To expect the current administration to reverse 8 years (actually 12 years, since Bush 41 made some bad moves as well in regards to taxes and our economy) in 28 months is impatient. Especially considering that 9/11 caused TRILLIONS in damage to this economy. The fact that it is as strong as it still is, and rebounding is a testament to his good leadership. We could be a LOT worse off. I still remember the Carter days.... And this ain't those. Anyone who is slamming this administration for the economy or it's leadership has a very short memory. Our economy has been A LOT worse off in recent memory, and isn't so bad now. And is getting better by the day. The President just made a speech, that should kick the market up a few more points today. I just read an article on the CBS website that says that MOST Americans believe that Bush is doing a good job and the economy today is better than a year ago. That's why I called your post nasty and mean-spirited. Because it goes counter to the data in the world. The data that the economy is improving, and that people say Bush is doing a GREAT job as President. They believe in letting stuff pass, or agree with YOUR Gross Exaggeration. It was your message that was the gross exaggeration. Not mine. Sorry. Go pick up any newspaper today, or listen to the news tonight. I don't think you'll find much agreement with your post in them. I am not subscribed to the CC-Tech list. If it went there, it was purely by accident. You haven't been looking then. Yes, if I disagree with it... I assume by this you intend to say I am liberal? Because that is FAR, FAR from the truth. Typical. If you took the time to talk to me, rather than making the harsh assumptions you make in the last few paragraphs of your post. You'd find we agree on a lot of things (except your post), and you might even like me (most people do who take the time to get to know me..). I've posted quite a bit in the last few months on computers. But, I'm out of my depth with the major iron that people talk about here. Ask me anything about HP Laserjet II/III, TRS-80's, Coco's (I worked for Spectrum Projects and wrote for Rainbow Magazine), Timex/Sinclairs (I wrote the front end for a lot of Zebra's Products and the manuals), and Mac Emulation... And while I used an Imsai 8080 (with a Z-80 CPU Card) for several years to run a small mail-order business in the mid-80's. I know little about it, as I only used it. I didn't assemble it or maintain it. I can say, it was a nice machine and did everything we asked of it well. I wonder what Stewart did with it? That was at Zebra Systems, Inc. where we made add-ons for the Timex/Sinclair Computers, Tandy Color Computer, Commodore Amiga and the Atari ST computers. Stewart also used to make something called the "Music Box" and "Rhythym Box" for S-100 Systems and the TRS-80 Computers. It was the fore-runner of the Orchestra-80, which Stewart always claimed was a cheaper knock-off of the much nicer Music Box. A minor mod of the Music Box software or Orch-80 Software made them run on the other hardware. I think just a change in which port one addressed with the music data was all...
