But does it still have its loyal fans, its people who use it daily, and who attend convetions, get-togethers and swap-meets about it? Absolutely. All I need now is accusations of Beetle zealots stuffing online ballots, and my comparison will be complete :) Two out of three people wonder where the other one is.

That when DARPA and others were first online(1972-3)... there was a DDoS simply because of the programmed voting for the VM Beetle as Car and Boat of the year. Of course this doesn't explain why in 1963 a similar occurance happen... but the mail carriers cheated and used trucks to dump the mail in-line for Car and Driver to tally. -- [link\|mailto:greg@gregfolkert.net\|greg], [link\|http://www.iwethey.org/ed_curry\|REMEMBER ED CURRY!] @ *i_wethey* Freedom is not FREE.

Car so light the slightest breeze could push you off the road. Straw in the seats, at bit of dampness and they co stinky moldy. On the other hand, you could fly over bumps and never bottom out.

Thats not how it works. Everybody has a different program. They just all want the same guy dead.
