    You mean like, using pencil and paper, cooking over a fire pit, walking, hunting your food with a spear, growing vegetables in a garden, actually talking to neighbors in the evening instead of watching TV? Sadly, no. Marc

    Speak for yourself. I hunted my neighbour last night with a spear and ended up clubbing her over the head with a Kumquat.

      No, but they might try using "proven technologies" instead of doing a lot of pure-ish R'n'D.

            :rolleyes: Was that you (Ali rubs her head)? :confused: I thought I recognised the spear! PS Thanks for that by the way, I made a lovely fruit salad later. You can't beat a nice Kumquat in the evening! :-D

              Indeed. Sniggers childishly. You can't beat a nice Kumquat, but you can beat an egg.

                  :-D Reminds me off this old favourite .... A chicken and an egg are lying in bed. The chicken is leaning against the headboard smoking a cigarette, with a satisfied smile on its face. The egg, looking a bit fed up, grabs the sheet, rolls over, and says, "Well, I guess we finally answered THAT question."

                    I'm waiting for the technology that will allow me to physically reach through the internet and choke the living daylights out of people that post stupid threads on CP.
