Never used it. Must have a great immune system. A little neosporin and a bandaid. Never goy an infected cut.

Cash was guarded carefully, excess amounts stashed in the back room, or kept in the floor safe. The merchant portions of the charge card slips were kept in a Dutch Masters cigar box on the desk mentioned above, available to anyone in the room. Amazing how susceptible to fraud this same information is today. 1

Put them to the test, they said: "go up to 40,000 feet and turn off one engine!" Hence the lawn dart reference.

Good thing I went with VHS. guy I used to work with went all in on Beta. He got the state of the art Betamax player for like $1000 when it came out! speaking of, anyone remember going to the video store and you could get the VHS on the shelf or the Beta right behind it?

Beta had the better quality, but a blank VHS tape could do up to 6 hours of recording, versus only 5 for Beta. 23 minutes ago, JR in Pittsburgh said: speaking of, anyone remember going to the video store and you could get the VHS on the shelf or the Beta right behind it? Yep, locally our second video rental in our small town (Video Voyage) had separate VHS and Beta sections. The first video rental "place" (it was Rite Aid pharmacy) only carried VHS, and only one copy of each movie.
