I agree with your p0int MP3. Nobody gets a raise for making things go just as fast as they always have.

They had to change it somewhat for the US. I sure they are not done. Things will get moved. Metal things will go plastic but you are probably right. In 10 years they have probably squeezed every last drop out of this lemon! . That was my attempt to stay negative.

You forget that our Euro-brothers have been testing for a year now.
New and improved?....YES!

I usually try to conform to the rules of English grammar and spelling. But, in this case, I still think I'm smart for wanting a smart. Smart? We'll see...

Grammar and spelling has become a "lost art", especially with the advent of internet chat rooms, instant messaging and cellular phone text messaging. People have become lazy, I believe...

You know the best two times to fish?











Right before you get there and right after you leave.

And the best two days of boat ownership is the day you buy it and the day you sell it. Which fits right in with your fishing.
