           oh nevermind.  there wasn't.
           \_ Lemme guess, you just remembered that she's a fat, old, dumb,
              aggressive memeber of
              _some_minority_group_who_tend_not_to_get_hired_for_real_jobs_?

           \_ im in san jose

           http://www.cchem.berkeley.edu/~physplnt/Whodo/diradminsvcs.html

           clerks, form processor people,etc.) is that they all come from
           Oakland
           \_ uh... why is that a problem?
                \_ People from Oakland are all stupid and ugly.  -John

        \_ As Microsoft has decided their content is too '1337 for me as a
           lowly Netscape user, it must not be worth reading.
           \_ ? It's just some javascript.  There's nothing funny in there.
             \_ written by a trained MS monkey.
                \_ Son, unlike you, I read the html/javascript and there's
                   nothing complicated going on in there.  Are you using
                   NS 0.86alpha or what?  NS is bad but it isn't *that* bad.
                   Or I could tell you what the Linux bigots say in response
                   to every Windows query, "get a real os and a real browser!"
                   \_ i see only freebsd bigots here.

4/1     Suppose I spent my pocket money on SITN classes and expensive text
        books. Are these tax deductable under the "work related" deduction
        category? I took technical/work related classes of course.
