If you happen to end up in those environments again, I would appreciate it if you take a look at my prototype web-based message board. It's designed for compatibility, and I've tested a lot of Netscapes and IE4, but nothing on Win

They're really tasty and good for you. There's also a deep primal satisfaction from eating something directly from the wild earth. It's also a long-standing tradition in many cultures. If you know what you're doing and

Isn't most bottled water bottled in plastic? The bottle is plastic. The lid is plastic too. When you're opening the bottle, plastic is rubbing against plastic, and then water is pouring over it. Even glass-bottles typically have a
