When that monster would crest a hill and start lumbering down, all the little eco-boxes would scatter before it like chickens before a hawk!
Speaking of OS's... this?
A book I highly recommend is Windows Secrets
I will try to hunt down... Win 95 drives me nuts with all its "different ways to do the same dam' thing..."
Found this:
Amazon.com: buying info: Windows® 98 Secrets®
... J HERNANDEZ (see more about me) from Phoenix, AZ I found this Windows Secrets book
just as helpful as its predecesors. I had used the Windows 3.1 Secrets years ...

And FWIW, I emailed Fox about Star... we could use her in our corner.
Now you're talking! My parents gave me their Checker Marathon when I turned 16...They painted it black! I immediately put a Mercedes hood ornament on it...People would go nuts looking at it! I learned about car construction...I use to hit things when I got frustrated, and I used to bang my fist on that big hunk of steel and it never even moved...Then I got a Chevy Montecarlo and had an engine problem one day and just slapped the side and put a huge Dent in the metal...OOPS...They don't make em like that anymore...Glad I never hit anyone with that beast...it would have looked like Christine!
Non-babelfish translation: "There was no massacre! This is simply a catastrophe, we had relied on this for the continued UN offensive against Israel. Even if our Hamas/Al-Aqsa friends carry a few extra corpses into Jenin it is doubtful if it will be enough. What to do, what to do...."
Pronunciation Key (ms-kr) n.
1. The act or an instance of killing a large number of humans indiscriminately and cruelly.
2. The slaughter of a large number of animals.
3. Informal. A severe defeat, as in a sports event.
This ignores too many crucial factors: lack of uniforms (combatants indistinguishable from the "locals"; ask any Vietnam vet about this one); the "fog of war"; combatants deliberately hiding behind civilians or suddenly ducking amongst them; snipers do miss on occasion, etc., etc.
If the Israeli snipers were out to "off" civilians, then I can assure you that there would have far more casualties among the local populace.
Your concerns are perfectly valid, but IMHO, not borne out by the facts as we know them.
