The USA is responsible for millions of deaths worldwide. It sponsored terrorist groups and dictators. The space program was worthless and used up resources that could have spent on better causes, like feeding the hungry. America sucks.
I have to agree with you that the USA has made a lot of bad choices in the last 200+ years, but compare the USA to any other country that has obtained world leader status and you will see that we're a lot better than "the lesser of two evils". That's why people will risk their lives in leaky boats and sealed cargo containers to get here. Yes I am an American and damn proud to be one. We make mistakes and do stupid things but that doesn't stop most of the rest of the world from wanting that visa.
And the space program is one of our finest acheivements.
It costs 12 cents US to go to the movies. The average Afghan doesn't likely make more than $200.00 a year, so electricity, a phone line and Net access will likely be prices very cheap by western standards.

I just e-mailed them and ask if they could provide MPEG demos for those of us who don't use Windows(TM).
I won't hold my breath...
I might have to get one of these for the Anime section of my store. It will fit right in next to Twin Dolls.
What I want to know is...
If they upgrade the software do I get a new copy of the CD?

As any real Commodore user knows. Commodore made PCs, the last one I saw was a 386 but I think they made 486s too.
