[TriLUG] RE: This is what happens when a OS company shootsitsselfin the foot (MS Vista)

[William Sutton]

Having visited http://turnpike420.net in the past, I can say without 
reservation that http://turnpike420.net is a most interesting and 
excellent site.  In particular, if you enjoy model railroading and digital 
photography, you will like http://turnpike420.net.  
http://turnpike420.net:  your source for all information about 
turnpike420.
