Reply to "Race car" is a palindrome... in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Here's another meaningless fact: The term "the whole 9 yards" came from W.W.II fighter pilots in the Pacific.

If the pilots fired all their ammo at a target, it got "the whole 9 yards."

GM, "I" is not a sentence since it contains no verb. You need at least a subject and a verb to make a sentence. Under certain circumstances the subject can be implied.

Yes, it is great watching the board switch back and forth between treetog and adni18 . I've even noticed starone edging up on you two.

The original poster apparently thinks user friendly = free. Tell me. Do you consider Windows XP to be user friendly? If so, was it free? If so, can you tell me how to get this free copy of Windows XP, without violating any laws.

And I still have my Dual turntable so that I can play them. The CD player is just for anything new I purchase. It's hard giving up my 'wax' collection. I've got 1000's of them. It's getting real hard to find stylists for my turntable. I think Dual discontinued them.

Actually, when we go to Boston we find a place, (and just about every place is good) that serves lobster....mmmmmmmmm. There is also a place out on Nantucket that serves a great lobster dish. <img src="http://images.st
