Yes indeed, Windows don't even know how to handle UTC.
On dual boot boxen you have to set the clock to local time or doze can't
tell the correct time!

$5,000 dollars!!! No wonder the pineapple is so high in the states! You
rich Philippino landowners are taking advantage of our poor, naive American
entrepreneurs. Well, I guess the U.S. is everybody's patsy. <grin>
I looked up Mindanao on some Google map. -The large island to the south in
the Phillipines. They didn't list Bukinon, but I did see Cagayan de Oro,
Davao, and Mt. Apo. (Just wondering, do people who climb that mountain get
Apo-plexy?) Also saw Zamboanga which is the subject of some very old song
here.

Wouldn't that be to the south of Luzon? Just to be daring, no, I
have not looked that up. I stand naked before you. Kinda.

Well, Luzon is (mainly) a large blob at the north end and Mindanao is a
large blob at the south end and there is quite a distance between. I
really don't know much about the Philippines but one time I almost went
there with a friend who had relatives around Manila. (The reason we didn't
go is because _he_ didn't go because he got divorced.)

Pineapples are a buck-forty-nine at No Frills this week. We use a lot of

I'm a student of WWII, so while I don't know every island in the Pacific
I'm probably ahead of the average.
Also, I was conceived shortly after my dad came home from Manila and was
mustered out of the US Army in 1946.
Oh...and my Tax Guy is Philipino (Filipino, whatever). True Story: when
describing the small island he's from, he said that it's about three by
five miles in size, and there's nothing to do there but harvest
coconuts..."But we have a web site!"

I'm a city boy but in my late teens I spent some time in a rural area.
Whereas I thought it was peaceful and almost idyllic, enviable to say the
least, the people who lived there couldn't wait to get out and experience
"action/adventure/excitement" - the "fast lane" so to speak. Perspective
is significant.
That's one of the best things about the Internet: it "can go" anywhere (-
assuming adequate support techology.) In my early days on The Web, I was
chatting with some guy in Kuala Lumpur who had a site with chat. I'm not
crazy about chat in general, but that was cool.

$1.49 ain't bad. But yours probably came from Australia where they do
anything for a buck.

Yes it is south of Luzon, By the way why don't you have a swim over here?
Then if I can tell you from all the other sharks ( you all look alike ) I
can show you around.

It's good to know both sides of something because neither is perfect nor

Why? Is it dangerous to non-muslims?
