Of course, all the VLILLLDMs in this news groupd will claim that's just "more NRA bullshit;" as they cannot come to gris with the fact that the Obama/Biden/Feinstein/Schumer/Manchin/Toomey/Boxer group has doen more for: 1) gun sales (especially those "scary-looking, eeeevil, black `assaut weaons'"); and: 2) NRA membership roll expansion.

I was listening to retired-RINO Olympia Snowe last night on the Jon Stewart Show, where she reeated the usual gun controller "90%" bullshit, ranting on how such a "small" organization as the National Rifle Assn. could control so much influence over the Congress.

What she, Stewart, and all the other gun control protagonists, propagandists and quislings <cough>Ed_Huntress<cough> fail to understand is no matter how many gun owners are NRA members, most gun owners who aren't NRA members feel the same way we mainstream NRA Life Members feel: that you cannot "dance with the devil" of gun control; with their "just ONE MORE `reasonable, common sense' gun control law: that's _all_ we want" line of bulshit they've been spewing out ever since 1968 and the GCA`68.

Compromise with them just leads to their wanting even MORE "compromise:" right up `til we "compromise" into a total disarming of the law-abiding United States citizens.

“Certainly one of the chief guarantees of freedom under
any government, no matter how popular and respected,
is the right of citizens to keep and bear arms. This is not
to say that firearms should not be very carefully used,
and that definite safety rules of precaution should not
be taught and enforced. But the right of citizens to bear
arms is just one more guarantee against arbitrary
government, one more safeguard against tyranny which
now appears remote in America, but which historically
has proved to be always possible.”

Two: Sarah's 2nd cousin on her sisters side (Sarah provided the
funds), and Dan Gross's dog, "mierda profunda". [ I have obtained
access to Handgun Control Incorporated's data base, so I know]

You are correct...memory fades when one ages. BTW, that one sided
diskette was 160kb. The two sided was 320kb. At least when IBM came out
with the PC. It also had no hard drive.

One of my instructors (86-88 period) had one of the original 5160s. I'm
still agog over how much he paid in 1980s dollars for what was little more
than a glorified calculator with a keyboard and monitor. Ah the reassuring
sounds of a PC booting up, 5.25 humming, the zip, zip, zip of the floppy
drive head finding it's zero and then loading the OS. Or not and it booted
to Basic.

These youngsters have no idea how good they have it.

The first IBM PC with a harddrive. Unless you counted the one from 10MB
Plus Development card that fit in a slot. I had a First Day Order 5150
and that was the only way to retrofit it. It even came with single sided
diskette drives. I was able to swap those out when it arrived.

Remember 5 1/4 form factor? I have a couple of the original 10MB and
20MB harddrives from those days. Those suckers weigh about 2 - 2.5
pounds apiece. Now, I have 32GB of data on a USB drive the size of my
thumbnail. It is almost exactly the size of a new Logitech USB mouse
driver.

I had a Seagate 20MB and later an 80MB 5.25", full height, voice coil type
harddrive in my first computer - a 286 clone bought from the retailer I
worked at the time. Damn things shook my desk when they spun up and
intialized.

Oh please....
The first summer I worked at an IBM Datacenter, they got the funds to double
the memory on one (of 5) of their 360 mainframe computers. And this was a
shop that literally printed money hand over fist every day it operated
They went from 32k to 64k of core memory
It was an 8'x8'x8' box that needed special power and water cooling.
Internal cost was in the $200.000 range.
We threw a real (boozer) party on Sunday evening to celebrate.
Shut down the shop and handed it over to the "Service Engineers" for
inspection.
Fortunately, being the most junior guy, my next shit was Monday at 2300.

They scheduled when you could take a dump?

32k to 64k memory. Ouch. When I first started developing we were still
doing memory swaps to load sections of code and data. But that kind of
memory, ouch!
