Is this something that runs in the family Harry? ;-) They are active individuals with lots of interests, and use their laptops to get local information, stay in touch with their buddies, read email, buy tickets, et cetera: the same reasons most people I know take their laptops with them whether they are traveling for business or pleasure. While I was in Hawaii, I got an assignment from a client in Baltimore to write a speech, with a draft due while still out there. Without my laptop, I wouldn't have been able to handle the job. I also used it to stay in touch with my petsitter, and my neighbor drove over to the house every day to check the locks. Even if I traveled with my laptop for use on the plane or airport, I would never ask the relative/friend I was visiting to make accommodations for my internet connection while visiting them. Personally I would *NEVER* travel with my laptop while on vacation. But hey, different strokes I guess. |

Harry,
Don't forget logging onto rec.boats for a minimum of 8 hrs a day while on vacation. Can we expect your relatives to make some posts in rec.boats?

Harry,
If I am obsessed, can you imagine what that makes you? Have you ever looked at your posts and the sheer volume of repetitive posts where you don't even have a creative idea of your own, you just illegally cut and paste news articles in violation of copyright laws.

I liked the later "Lark," too. The Lark was OK, but not to my liking. Here is a 1960 model. http://www.ritzsite.demon.nl/Lark/pics/convertible2.JPG Compare it to a '54 Commander Starliner: http://www.motorcities.com/media/ima...upe-red-C.jpeg No contest.

The '62 Hawk Coupe was about the coolest: http://www.hubcapcafe.com/i/2001/anoka1/stude6201.JPG Unfortunately I never really got to see any of them up close during my early years of driving. Regarding 8 tracks: Go to any flea market and you can still find 8 track players and tapes. My buddy had a reverb unit with his 8 track.....I never liked the sound. I can only imagine the difference in quality of the sound coming out of those 8 tracks as compared to the quality of sound coming out of even a factory standard cd player and speakers in today's cars. |

My first car was a 1951 Studebaker. Drank oil, using about a quart every hundred miles. Had a good radio and heater, but no fan on the heater. It was a radiator under the seat. My younger brother totalled it. Then I got a '57 Chevy with the 283 Power Pack engine. Cool car. -- John H. "Divide each difficulty into as many parts as is feasible and necessary to resolve it."
