You do realize that this is not code to be proud of, right?
If the abomination known as Outlook was inflicted upon us by you or
your peers, then that fact should elicit shame, disgust, and revulsion
-- not pride.

If Microsoft made your letter box, all some one would have to do is
write "Burn the house down" on a piece of paper and post it through
the door, and your house would go up in flames. avid Ruck

Indeed! It does a great job of propagating junk and scripting virii.
Occasionally it even manages a newsgroup post or two. =)

You need the computing power of a Pentium, 16 MB RAM, and a 1 GB
Harddisk to run Win95. It took the computing power of 3 Commodore 64s
to fly to the Moon. Something is wrong here, and it wasn't the Apollo.

For the first time in my life, I feel the need to state this:
He just bent you over the table, slapped on a strap-on, and took you to
town.

Now, the "first time" thing has nothing to do with bending over and whatnot,
just that Mr. IR managed to actually school somebody.

This is something I simply cannot stand. The association of an individual
with a product he quite obviously had nothing to do with. Dude. Not cool.

Hey, he's the one that's staking claim to it on behalf of CS majors
everywhere.

Hey, like, chill, man. =)

9v batteries are only 9v at the begining of their life, if they really
used two 6 volt batteries it would be like only putting 850psi in your
HPA tank. After a few shots performance would really drop off.
