Indeed, I think that people want peace so much that one of these days governments had better get out of the way and let them have it. --Dwight D. Eisenhower "I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use." --Galileo Galilei "The significant problems we face cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we were at when we created them." --Albert Einstein "Without deviation from the norm, progress is not possible." --Frank Zappa Sigmund Freud - "America is a mistake, a giant mistake." --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to Low End Mac's iMac List, a group for those using G3, G4, G5, and Intel Core iMacs as well as Apple eMacs.
