Subject: Re: [Dailydave] Hacking software is lame -- try
medical research...
I had a wonderful breakfast, two eggs and sandwitch. :-) I am flying
to New York today. Can anyone tell me any good mall or store where I
can buy a good sleeping bag?
A last question, is the book Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand worth reading?

P.S. Well, everyone is jumping into FD to discuss their favorite
topic, so i thought I might try as well.
