The less resources available to a group that needs them, the more fierce the competition for those resources becomes. If you're a consumer and the fight's for your dollar, this is a good thing. For the companies chasing your custom, the struggle to compete can exhaust their resources and lead to extinction. Which is good for you and a bad for them. (Survival of the fittest and all that.) All of which is a preamble to the fact that the deals on GM wheels are getting seriously serious. Regional GM dealers– including Cadillac and Saturn— are offering "pull ahead" leases until March 15. In other words, they'll forget six months of your GMAC Smart Lease to get you into a new lease. If you fancy a Chevrolet Silverado, well qualified (i.e. vertical) buyers can pick up a pickup on a 60 month zero percent loan. Can GM afford to offer these kinds of incentives? No. But they can't afford not to offer them either. Darwin, eh?

Justin how do you manage to not use a single Microsoft product, I sure would like to be like that, I hate Microsoft. I don’t know how many computers I have had to rebuild because of their crap software. They are evil, unethical, and have destroyed better software companies with their business practices. They need to be broken up like AT&T was back in the day. Their only interest is in expanding their already huge market share and not in producing great product for their customers, hmm who does that remind you of.
Tsk, Tsk Robert — in Dick’s story, it is ILLEGAL to kill the ad-insects.
Also — 4 legs good, 2 legs better.
He probably uses a Mac. And if he uses Linux, he just went up 10 respect points in my eyes.
Justin, if you do use a mac, you can probably send word-format documents without word using Apple’s iWork:

If you ARE using linux, you can probably use open office:

I figured he used a Mac, I was refering to the places you can’t control whos software is running your life, work, phone, car, etc. And the fact some applications just wont run on anything else because of their monopoly.
I miss the Unix Sun Spark stations we used to have at RPI.
Thanks Robert Schwartz is this a stand alone Linux-type OS that doesn’t require a DOS foundation like in years past. I just reformatted my laptop and reinstalled a fresh version of XP and it’s still running like sh*t so I think I will try this, can’t be any worse. Don’t anyone suggest Vista, that overly expensive bugged continuation of MS tradition.
You have to hand it to Microsoft, though. What other company has millions of beta testers finding all the bugs in their products for them?
Redbarchetta: Ubuntu Linux is indeed stand alone. It is very simple to install and run.
The Camaro GTO (there are always two on either side to avoid the jet wash), follow the U-2 on take-off to pick up the wing wheels after they detach. They then throw the wheels in the trunk, and speed off the runway before the next jet needs to take off.
Then upon landing, the GTO shadows the plane (with wing wheels in the trunk), and “talks” the plane down on the radio. i.e…. “Dragon 01, you are 10 ft…. 5ft….. 3, 2, 1, touch down….” since the pilot has such poor downward visibility. Then as the plane slides to a halt they pop the wheels out of the trunk, attach them to the wings, and then it can taxi off to the parking ramp.
I rode in the Camaro, and it is very addictive! Massively fast, so I can only imagine the LS2 powered GTO.
