Iaia, Being an outdoorsy type, and interested in bridges, you need to come up to Collingwood to the Scenic Caves park. Not because of the caves, but becasue of the really cool suspension bridge they put in over the valley. It's like 300 meters off (...) (20 years ago, 12-Jul-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

:-/ I'm reluctant to post this, because I know I've posted a fair chunk of already off-topic stuff in the past.

Hey gang, I just upgraded my motherboard and now I’m trying to get rid of the extra one I ended up with. If someone is looking to build a “budget” P4 system, this mobo should fit in nicely: ASUS P4PE-L - Intel 845PE chipset - Socket 478 Supports up (...)
