Supporting the extension of the internet isn't even close to "inventing" it. Wow! After all this, somebody's *still* putting "inventing" in quotes. We already saw the real quote: "During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet." Invent and create are pretty close cousins. My comment applies equally well to create. I didn't think he'd used the word invent which is why I had it in quotes as I wasn't sure it was strictly correct. So, let me restate: Supporting the extension of the internet isn't even close to creating it. Happy? Matt |

Bought all the pieces, took `em home, and invented a computer out of them! More like assembled a computer rather than created it. Matt |
