If Ben were to get a job driving Miss Daisy around she would tell him to hurry up.
Those earlier Diesels didn't have the brute power we now take for granted BUT they get good MPG and propel the truck they are in.
Hey Ben guess what I did with my old computer? Yep, I now have PY, CP and email in the garage!!! Yee-ha now I'll never get anything done. Albert suggested it after I put a clutch in his Xterra (what a beech, even for a stinking 4 popper) He had a spare 17" monitor, keyboard and set the tower up with XP. Even has a working DVD player. Works great but needs more memory (only 512K at the moment) and some speakers besides the ones in the monitor.
