Oh yes, I noticed those, but I'm still busy downloading 150
engineering texts. In fact really useful stuff on composite

The size of the boat library you can take on a long, mostly boring voyage,
on a single DVD would sink a 70' motor yacht.

I loved the quotation. I forget which English economics professor said it,
but back in the late 1700's he said something like:

A democracy can only exist until the electorate discovers that they can
vote themselves an income from the public treasury.....something to that
effect. America's gone past that line many year ago....
