A seperate Google forum!! Message #3 Posted by Howard Owen on 9 Jan 2007, 1:21 p.m., in response to message #2 by Ron Google owns YouTube, ya know. Acronyms of (possible) interest: TOS "The Other Site" TAS "That Auction Site" TSS "The Search Site" TCSPVS "That Calculator Slaughtering Puerile Video Site" Well, TVS would do, but I couldn't resist editorializing. I mean, user generated content is fine, but there are limits. 8) Regards, Howard

90% of everything is crud! Message #4 Posted by Paul Brogger on 10 Jan 2007, 5:17 p.m., in response to message #3 by Howard Owen Quote: ... but there are limits. Actually, I think the point is, there are no limits! Somebody once said that "90% of everything is crap!" That sentiment originated in a day when a generally well-structured (if not always well-intentioned) layer of editorial review lay between the idea and its manifestation in media. Well, that is so no longer. I think the saying could be revised to something like: "99.9999% of everything is crap!"

Which is just another way of stating the problem.

Re: Calculator Love !!!! :-))))) Message #9 Posted by David Smith on 17 Jan 2007, 11:57 a.m., in response to message #8 by Marcus von Cube, Germany Strange you should mention that... I always wanted a calculator that could be used as a shaver. Now it needs to also have phone/gps/mp3/am/fm/sw/tv/rc/shaver. Oh yeah, and a flip out toothbrush.
