i am from a rural farm area and 14 year olds were allowed to drive tractors and with special permission from the dmv in california, they were allowed to drive cars

there was this one farmer's kid who used to drive to 8th grade in his car and he chewed tobacco

he died later that year from lip cancer, but he went down in history as the first kid in our class to get a set of wheels
 
Wyoming has similar laws... I actually got my license when I was 13. Believe it or not, I was able to drive to middle school where I grew up in Colorado with an out-of-state license from Wyoming:D

Unfortunately, I was not the first in my class to drive to middle school. There was this 17-year-old still in the eighth grade with me.:D somehow, he got all the glory...:rolleyes:

I forgot to mention that I think that I really wasn't mature enough to be driving at that time. I totalled two cars that year before I had my license taken away:(

Bahamas, Bangladesh, Barbados, Bhutan, Botswana, British Virgin Islands, Brunei,
Cayman Islands, Channel Island, Cooke Islands, Cocos Island, Cyprus,

Actually, the G4 is quite upgradeable. I changed my wife's HDD to a 120 GB Western Digital, Added 2 GB SDRAM and a GeForce4 Ti 4600 (that I bought for a PC but flashed with a MAC BIOS [ROM]) Right now, her 1 GHz Mac G4 is as fast (if not faster) than my Athlon XP 2200+ (you get CPU's sooner here in Taiwan) with 1.5 GB DDR and a GF4 Ti 4600.

how did you get 2GB RAM in a g4? or am i missing something....? (which is quite possible)

My wife's G4 has 4 DIMM slots... I put 4 x 512MB SDRAM in them (it wasn't cheap!)

However, you do have a point that some G4 only have three dimm slots.. there are 1 GB SDRAM DIMM modules available, but the cost is extreme. My friend settled for 1.5 GB for his G4 just for this reason.

I believe that the specs say that all G4 support up three GB RAM, but I'll have to check on that:eek:

As for the countries driving on the left... Look historically when their transit systems developed and who their major trade was with at the time... Hong Kong and South Africa...

And c'mon, Australia! :p

Try half that, 1.5 GB...

So even though you may 2GB in there, only 1.5 is being used. Sorry.:(
 
all the bad press about motorola

how about ibm...i just saw this book trying to tie in an ibm card reader records machine with the nazis and how ibm made money off of hitler

i almost bought the book and it reminds me of when i heard rumors about the usa selling aluminum to the japanese during world war II to make $

amazing how commerce still finds a way to make a buck...during the gulf war, i had a friend in california that worked for a company that sold components for the scud missle the iraqis used against us
