I have owned three air-cooled VWs: a 1966 VW (6-volt), a 1974 Super Beetle, and a 1970 VW Bus (more commonly referred to as the VW Van). I loved them all and did everything to the mechanicals but rebuild the engine, but that was in my youth-- I no longer have the time or the energy to do an...

1994 Honda Accord sedan with the VTEC engine. Unfortunately, it has to be an automatic, as I am disabled and have to have hand controls. Has decent acceleration, but I run it flat out too much and only get about 27mpg. I have been happy with it, but it has developed a problem where it just dies...

That video was a trip down memory lane. Though I am a Mac man at heart, I have dealt with almost all of the system revisions shown. I had Windows 3.1 on my work machine, but stuck with DOS until Windows 95 came out. The video mentioned it, but when they got to Windows 2000 they were jumping...

I went from a Palm Treo to an iPhone 2 to an iPhone 3GS to an Android Captivate and am currently puzzling over what is next. I blame the Captivate's truly awesome screen for the short battery life, but I can hook it up to power from time to time to have that extra-crisp display when I am...

I am currently working my way through the Discworld series by Terry Pratchett and loving it! I am currently on #15 Men at Arms, just about finished with it. I love long series!

I must admit, I am already considering a MM Country Gentleman. I had temporarily forgotten cobs, for some reason. When I was in boot camp, I smoked a cheap corncob pipe I picked up in the PX. It was mostly a reaction to the drill sergeant's "Smoke 'em if you got 'em" followed two minutes (or...

My wife and I visited Montréal on our honeymoon back in 1983 and we loved it! We stayed at a tourist home (Andre's?) near McGill University and had great fun seeing the sights. I definitely envy you and may end up there someday. Steve

I also just found you on Facebook and requested that you add me as a friend. 8)

Greetings! I just registered after perusing your forums, linked to from (who else?) Google. I was doing a search for tobacco species and your board was one of the results. I found a lot of really good information here, and I am going to do a thorough reading for the forums. I have been smoking...
