While I'd love to play golf on this trip, I'm limited by both the fact that I'm already asking my GF to come with me on a trip where I'm doing something just for me for three days of it, and by the simple logistics of not having enough room for my clubs with everything else that will be packed into the Miata. At least driving by Apple's headquarters might be possible. :-) -- "The iPhone doesn't have... ....well, since Edwin seems to have finally crawled away for good, I guess I'll let him off the hook |

Acause there's at least one of you in virtually every class of experienced motorists; nitwit stuck in the first stage of competency with the intent to show the instructors all they don't know.
