LOL. Good to have an American joining in with a little self-deprecating humour. To be fair to the Texan lady, the concept she had in her head, was a United States of Europe, (a dream the French and German peoples subscribe to ;)), whereby each of the European counties are states, (rather than sovereign countries), just like states that make up the good ol' USA. I'm impressed she had even heard of Europe, let alone been there. ;) I can't remember the actual number, but I remember seeing a statistic which shocked me.... Something like > 70% of Americans have never left American soil and travelled abroad. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JackOfAll's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3069 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=99395 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
