Why, yes!  I will tell you that!  Also, Macs have had built in helicopter
pads, digital satellite systems, wet bars, and *lympic-sized swimming
pools ever since the 128k Mac in the mid-80's;  the IIfx introduced the
learjet bundle.

I read comp.org.eff.talk fairly regularly, and have followed the
$cientology thing with interest.  It's pretty scary, notice how posts keep
disappearing.  You can also read about it in alt.current-events.net-abuse,
as well as issues relating to advertising/spamming on Usenet.

My "fun" newsgroups are talk.bizarre (textural humor and discussion),
alt.aol-sucks (don't ask me how I managed to get mixed up with those
guys--but it contains some of the best-written flamage you'll ever see), 
several music groups, and alt.config (quite a funny place, esp. if you've
ever wondered where are those *stupid* alt. groups keep coming from.) 

Anyway, I keep teetering on the edge of sending my check to join EFF.  I
think I'll do it this week....
