Pickle: You're just a kid yourself, aren't you?
I posted something earlier, and obviously before I read this. I'd place a bet in Las Vegas right now that you aren't much older than my eldest son! Poop, man, I bet you can't even remember TV before remotes were in common use! (I do remember an aunt & uncle who had one of the first Quasar TVs that had one, and it did literally "click" when you used the remote -- and that was in 1964!!!) the pickle wrote: > > At 23:17 -0700 on 14/08/02, Obi-Wan wrote: > > >the pickle wrote: > > > >> At 23:32 -0500 on 14/08/02, Ryan wrote: > >> > >> >the heck of it.

Those things lose their "charge" or "magnetism" after a while. You know this. Besides, the charge you put into a screwdriver isn't that strong. I've been using them since you were still dragging on a baby bottle -- or at least that's what I'm now suspecting. Allen ----- -- Quadlist is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
