    But,these are drugs man. The tool of Satan. With our Puritan heritage I don't think this will happen any time soon. Anyone supporting a measure similar to this would be vilified by the Christian Right.

    Did you know that it wasn't too long ago that pharmacies were banned from using the word "discount" in their adverting? This was in the late 60's early 70's. I know because the pharmacy I worked was given a $1000 citation for saying "Discount Pharmacy"

    I'm a third party. I'm a seller on Amazon and have been using USPS for 99% of all orders placed. I used to have no problems then I moved and had to use a different Post Office branch and have had at leasy 5 shipping problems in the last 2 months. Packages destroyed, received late, etc. and once a package was returned to me because they said it was the wrong kind of cardboard box, WTF? I'm going to have to use UPS, or FedEx or I'm going to lose customers.

    Didn't they see what happened with the PPC market?

    What market are they going after with this, netbook's with ARM instead of Atom cpus?

    Why yes, yes they are.

    As far as PPCs are concerned, you must not know about the WM Smartphones out there that are running ARM processors. Hell, I bought an old Dell Axim X51v for ~ $100 just to read books on. My first PPC had an ARM running about 200 mgh this one runs at 624. Not too much of a stretch to imagine 1.6!
