@Derek Robinson: I understand that you're disgusted with Microsofts' "for profit" nature being ridiculed in such an adolescent fashion. Dismissing a valid argument for such ephemera as a dollar sign in the name though, is very much like throwing the baby out with the bath water. Would you be more receptive to…

You're either starving to death looking for work, or you have way too much to do (with very little pay, if any). The only way we can afford to live out here is in…

@tanshanomi - Have you ever heard of Marcos Automobiles? Racing cars built with wooden chassis by Jem Marsh and Frank Costin, using aircraft construction techniques in the early 1960's.
