Well what used to be a reasonably priced, $3.99, 9 compartment PLANO like storage container from IKEA, is now an over priced, $6.99 waste of money. I liked the GLIS storage containers and at $3.99 they were a great deal, and quite useful. Sometime (...) (20 years ago, 6-Jul-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

Declaring Program 1 doesn't work because different OSs have different interpretations of what a program is. (...) (20 years ago, 6-Jul-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
