| Not that there's anything wrong with that... ... perfect: the comedian who always was about nothing will praise Vista ... So what's the going celebrity rate these days for lying through their teeth? |

| #13 The new ad campaign will be part of Microsoft's general "Vista really is better than you think!" push that began earlier this year. I guess "Vista doesn't suck as much as you think it sucks" was already copywrited by some enterprising entrepeneur? |

| #12 "If a book about failures doesn't sell, is it a success?" Perhaps not, but Microsoft hopes that a new $300 million ad campaign about the flailing Windows Vista will somehow turn it into a success with the help of comedian Jerry Seinfeld. LOL, yea right he may raise the dead too! The olde Axiom about Computers Garbage In Garbage Out VISTA Quite Possibly Jerry Seinfeld may become synonymous with Garbage? |

| #11 There is a 90+ year old fellow up the road where I live that is suffering from dementia. Well, he saw a squirrel in his house, so he shot it with a 30-06. Then the next week he was asking just who in the hell put a bullet hole through his window. The son-in-law took away his guns, but the old man got a lawyer and made them give them all back. I used to visit with the old fellow, but I just go by his house now, whistling dixie, 'cause by induction, 30-06 bullets are made of metal. And, in conclusion, I think that Jerry Seinfeld would be the perfect person (at least his persona) to sing the praises of Vista. So it all comes together. |

| #9 I'll gladly switch over to and praise Windows Vista for a fraction of what they paid Seinfield. Perhaps that would be a way to pick up sales. Buy Windows Vista and get a cashiers check for $1000. |

| #7 Those of us who were around when rifle grenades were still in fashion might remember the old Centurion tank. Now the Cent was one of the few tanks that had a blank round. Very loud, but not very effective on exercises (or in battle, for that matter). That is, unless you loaded one of those ration pack lima bean tins first. Not very accurate, but at 100 yards or so, it would splatter enough to stain most of the side of a tank. The faces of crews thus attacked were a joy to see. Sure the can was metal, but it was mostly beans. Does that qualify as a non-metal bullet? |

| #6 Wood, wax. Last Saturday Jeff brought his Mountain Howitzer over and we fired wet tennis balls. They were going about 500 yards. Then we made some cardboard cutouts (5), placed them 50 to 100 yards out, and loaded a cannister round made with paintballs (100). The result was impressive. every cutout had at least one hit. The only problem was the paintballs didn't bust when thay hit but went right through. We'll try plywood cutouts next time. |

| #5 Have there been bullets made out of something other than metal since they retired the rifle-grenade? |

| #4 I like pointless threads because there is no point to them. I mean, if the thread had a point it wouldn't be pointless and the point of a pointless thread is to have no point. Wait, if the point is to have no point then it's not pointless. Never mind. |

| #3 Yes, the 5.56 round is made of metal...not that there is anything wrong with that. |

| #2 Please, don't mock me that way, pointless threads are the only ones where I can make somewhat relevant comments. |

| #1 I sense a pointless thread. But let me say this, the 5.56 round is made of metal, which is a good thing. |
