(...) Why would they build a hospital on a cliff (...or a hill of some sort)? Almost as if they needed a reason to use that fancy articulated ramp. Ivan - No one reads these anyway. (19 years ago, 8-Jan-06, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

For whatever reason, I added an inch instead of half an inch to the measurement and miscut the bottom. So (...) (19 years ago, 8-Jan-06, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

Did you guys see the MSRP on the NXT? "suggested retail price of $249.99 (USD) and $ 379.99 (CAD)" But as of today 249.99 USD = 291.20 CAD That extra $90 sucks! -Rob A> (19 years ago, 8-Jan-06, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
