Stallone Promises Fans a 'Rambo IV'
Sylvester Stallone has promised fans of his Rambo franchise they can expect another installment of the all-action series - even though he's nearly 60. Stallone, who is currently 58 years old, is holding talks with movie bosses about resurrecting the 80s blockbusters, which centered on a violent, disillusioned Vietnam veteran. He says, "We're in the kitchen and we're cooking. I've had meetings about this and it looks good. We'll see what we come up with."


And he's doing Rocky VI!?!?! When will the madness end?!?!?!

Yeah, well the Trandoshans have a very intricate and legally binding inheritance system. So, I will be collecting on behalf of Vossk and all others in the line. Seeing as how I have, allegedly, killed off all other relatives (but it cannot be proven), I am entitled to all the monies and material goods they pass on to their next of kins.

Check in the mail?

G5 books (be it PowerBook or iBook) have not been released or even announced yet. Apple is releasing a slightly modified PowerBook in March that has a 1.67 GHz processor. But it is expected that the PowerBook G5 will be announced in June. The iBook will follow after that. I would assume by October or November. That's usually the order of things at Apple... the new Powertower, then the iMac, then the PowerBook, then the iBook, then the eMac. Since the iMac was announced last October, the PowerBook would likely be next. However, I don't know if it will fit in your $1600 budget. They tend to be a bit pricey at first. You may have better luck buying one of the G4 Titanium PowerBooks at that price.

I do recommend them, though. I have a G3 PowerBook Lombard that I have had for nearly six years now. I do need to upgrade to OSX, but I've got to find the time (and the media).

And that's why I like Mac is because of the need to configure for so many different vendors. And nobody makes it clear to the common man what works and what does not. And then stores won't take back items that are opened and aren't compatible so you're screwed.

And yes, Macs have fewer virus and security issues, but that's not because they're inherently more secure, but because virus writers and hackers want to make the most trouble on as many machines as possible, so they target Windows. If all those troublemakers suddenly turned their eyes to the Mac, Apple would have just as many "issues" with their OS as Microsoft.


That's exactly what I said in my earlier post. I know it could happen, but not until it becomes a bragworthy event for virus programmers. The sheer numbers of PC users out there make writing PC viruses much more bragworthy. I never said Macs were more secure, just less likely to get hit.

Hence why I called it a rat-dog. I had a friend when I was in high school that had this tiny little dog that, when you looked at it, had the same snout as a fruit bat. I used to call it a bat-dog and kept teasing about when it would finally spread its wings and fly.

As they say in a commercial from this past year, if it's smaller than a football, it's not a dog.

I like beagles and they're not 18" and I dig Jack Russell Terriers as well. They're dogs in my book (bigger than footballs).

But my fave is a chocolate lab. A dog in both our books.
