His claims were of the dishonest kind. Like the annoying popups in
vista, and saying it can be turned off. And in another thread saying
that you shouldn't turn it off. Wierd stuff like that. You remember
Eric Funkenbush? He was like that by leaving out the important nuances
and yet protecting MS at all costs. Why anybody would do that I don't know.

I still got a few navy photos of the old USS Gurnard (submarine) while
it was making an emergency 'blow'. Came right up out of the water. I
was on it at the time the photo was taken. And I was at first laughing
at the thought that such a big boat would need seat belts. :D

I wish I could've taken a some underwater photos, but there weren't any
windows. But on the surface near the boat, the water was sparkling
clean and you could see for quite a ways down out at sea. The odd part
was when submerged you could hear all the dolphins and other fish making
a lot of racket.
