Good thing too... the whirly bits may cut off the refuelling line otherwise, then it wouldnt be buzzing anything.

But nice troll...  :aok

They have hung people publically for murder in the last few years... nothing about showing disrespect to Islam.

Holy prejudiced assumption, batman! :aok

"Isn't Dell the only computer company that still makes computers in the US?"

No. Dell has been importing MADE IN CHINA machines for awhile now. They recently announced more lay off in support of taking more jobs over seas. Customer support is split between America and India.

Gateway has more machines built here than in china. They, Gateway, still has American built machine and all of its Customer Support is American.

I heard that one company who makes PC's is 100% built. You pay more but it is worth it to keep the jobs here. I cannot recall the name and I thought I saved in bookmarks.

That Bear driver obviously plays AH 'cos that's the only place you'll ever see a heavy bomber take out a CV from 2000 feet.
