Well, how can it be 100% ANYTHING if it has ADDED ingredients!? And Wendy's sells "Naturally Cut" French fries. But when was the last time you saw two potatoes in a knife fight? And, could they have been cut "naturally" any other way?In the days of honesty and hard work, the B-17 was designed in one year with slide rules, adding machines, and people who knew how to use both, and flown the next. The 777 was all COMPUTER designed! It was delayed several times, was over budget, and still left the hanger with problems. But, hey, it was surrounded by elegant WORDS and technology. With an audience who believes virtually anything they see in print, it will always be so.Me, I just fixed binos . . . thousands of binos. I did not have the luxury of sitting around SPECULATING. That takes time and costs money. The road I chose was paved with finding the right solution to a problem until there was a REASON to modify it. :cat:Bill</blockquote>
