ROTFLMAO

yet you think the french could have driven the Germans out without US help?


IMHO this is not implied with the above statement.


It does in the context of the thread. Earlier Juan claimed that
"it _might_ not have happened." And even claimed that it was
"arrogant" to make such statements.

See what I mean? You can't read. I didn't "claim." I _stated_.

"claim" - to assert in the face of possible contradiction

"state" - to express in words

The issue I'd worry about more than price is that the refiners may
just stop making avgas, period.

What other fuels are still leaded?

It's small volume, hence a PITA from a refining/transport aspect.
With a refining capacity crunch...what will go first?

Q: "With a refining capacity crunch...what will go first?"
A: Not diesel.

I'm telling you, it's time to change those old 8mm home movies over onto VHS
tapes...
I mean DVD's...
I mean iPod...
I mean streaming video....

Early 80's, I watched "Star Trek: The Motion Picture" (1979) at a retail
electronics store - played on a [big?] laser disk. I've never seen those old
[..."laser"...] disks in a home, though.

I have one, although it's in the closet (both physically and because it is
not ready to admit that it's obsolete ;-) ).

I also have about 15 movies on LD (also in the closet). At the time, the
movies ran about $60 - $80, so I didn't buy them very quickly.

Then, DVDs started making noise so I held-off buying more LDs to see what
was going to happen.

So ... $500 for the player and about $900 for the movies. I think I got
off cheap ;-)

Is there a noticible quality diference, if any, between ..."laser"... LD's
and DVD's?

Toyota has an all-"aluminium" diesel in Eupropean cars right now. I'm just

I've got a collection of about 40 laserdisks but have not watched any of
them in years and don't know for sure if the player works anymore.
