Country:  | Yep, I use wireless on my wifes laptop. My own computer is just wired and next to the modem. I'm kinda old-fashioned in that way, you know.
TPBM uses Linux as OS

Country: | Its better since I put SP1 on it and overall it has some nice features on which when it doesn't crash it is better than XP (functionality wise). Generally though I prefer XP SP3 which I have on my desktop because it is more stable (and it looks the same as Vista as I customised it to do so)...
TPBM doesn't like Vista...

Country: | I'm worried for other people. Being in Dallas, I don't have to worry about hurricanes. Now tornadoes, those I worry about.
TPBM will tell us if they had to chose, if they would rather be in a hurricane or tornado.

Country: | Not a chance Jug. I'd rather get hit by a Tornado, while in the middle of a Hurricane, as the Earthquake is opening below my feet 
TPBM thinks they can sway my vote to the darkside? | |

TPBM knows the name of the plane that dropped the second Atomic Bomb on Nagasaki without having to look it up. | |
