Not that the code would be good for anything but a laugh. There will be few 
if any computers around that will run it and Microsoft(tm) would just say it 
no longer has the source. It's sad that I can almost see something like this 
going thru Congress tacked on a medicare bill by congressman M. Mouse. Maybe 
Ben "Cooter" Jones* will win his bid for Congress get drunk and kick 
Hollins's butt.

Back to practicing my Russian just in case.

The Dukes of Hazzard TV show  in 1979-1985. He is running for Congress
