I have to use FF 2.0.0.15 because I am still using Win98SE very
successfully. Just as IE6 SP1 is as high as I can go on 98SE, the same
reasoning applies to FF2.

What can I say? If you drive a 1958 model car, you have trouble buying
gasoline (leaded) to keep your valves from burning up. It's the old
thing about new wine in old wineskins all over again.
Believe me, I understand, as I used the same computer for 9 years!

I just hope you will be able to keep enjoying the web with FF2 for as
long as the computer keeps doing its thing.

He wouldn't have to go that far at all. The country with the largest oil
reserves in the world is just next door... Canada. We already supply
over 30% of the US demand for imported oil, and plan to pump more. We
already supply 95% of the Natural Gas imports.

As long as oil stays above US $30 a barrel, it is economical to convert
our oil sands into oil, and adding the 'tar sands' to our reserves makes
us number one.

So its not some Arab sheik who is going to buy out the French vineyards,
it is some lumberjack or cowboy from Edmonton going to buy out the
American sports franchises

And last time you Americans tried to make a move on us, you got your
butts kicked and Washington burned for the audacity of it all.

actually, this doesn't hold true any more. They've recently
discovered there is far more in the oil shale in the Green
River Valley of Wyoming, Colorado, and Utah area. It
contains far more oil than all of the Middle East.

My comment on the situation:

Screw the polar bears, DRILL!

Personally, the only polar bear I've ever seen was in a zoo. Or in a
National Geographic magazine or TV show.

Oh. And there are about 4 times as many polar bears in the wild today
as there were 20 years ago. Extinction? Excuse me? Environmentalists
= uninformed alarmists.

There. I've managed to tick off a whole bunch of people in three
paragraphs. Job well done!

I'm going to the polls and voting for every newcomer (assuming they're
not a democrat). Turn them all out, they're all idiots at best,
self-serving power mongers at worst. Send 'em all home and let 'em try
to get a real job.

Dang! I feel really good now!

And we also have vast oil shale deposits up here, problem is, extraction

Conservative estimate is over 1-trillion barrels locked up in shale.

Yeah But after we have 8 more years of George W. Bush through his
Surrogate McCain and we will be in 14th year in Iraq. And SS a and
Medicare are bankrupt. and your sitting around in a poorhouse. Or your
native tongue will be converted to Chinese. And our American Flag is
replaced by the Star and Sickle. He will wish he hadn't taken
Bush/McCain's Bait hook line and sinker.

If we vote another Republican administration in That's what we are
headed for.

Most of the problem with Oil is not supply and demand but the futures
market if Futures trading on Oil, Gas, and Utilities were *Banned*
then the price of Gasoline would drop by 60% overnight.

WE just won't learn the last great depression we had was caused by
trading on Margin and Trading on Futures. WE are back at it full force.

The mess we are in now to a great extent was the *Enron Loophole*

Anyone don't know what that is look it up on Google or wikipedia.
Republican in the national Congress have never been for the little
person. Its always been screw the little person and give it to the rich
folks.

I'm going to vote for every Democratic candidate that I can vote for.

I'm tried of being screwed by Washington Republicans.

You *can* use FF3 with win98SE, ... and it works well. You just need to
install an unofficial kernel update (KernelEx), reboot, install FF3 and
voila!

IMPORTANT NOTE -- you need version 0.3.4 (previous versions won't work.)

The bad part is that it costs a lot to suck it out.

It would be pretty to think so, but it doesn't really help much.

BTW, did you read my rant about FF 20015 over-writing 20014 and then
refusing to start because I hadn't updated some libraries? That
didn't make me feel any better at all. Moreover, I got FF3 to install
in windows and an updated linux partition and (a) all my extensions
are toast, especially tab mix plus which I LOVE; and (b) it's ugly in
linux.

Republican=Democrat. They're politicians. What on earth makes you
think any of them are "for" anybody but themselves and their
contributors? Last I heard, political contributions (usually known as
bribes in other circles) were legal for both parties.

Much cheaper to mine it and process the shale at the surface, at least
if Ed's willing to just dump all the shale waste in the Valley. (Since
it was only discovered a few years ago, I'm assuming it's too deep for
strip mining.)
