Clarity:

The fat old broad had no child.

The woman in front of me, who's just as inconvenienced, had the child.

Oh, IDK. I still have a early-2000s Thinkpad that I use to troubleshoot equipment that has an RS-232 or Centronics port. Upgraded to 2GB or so of RAM -- works fine even for 90% of modern Web sites provided you respect its limitations.

ah... even worse... using other people's kids as the shield... true blue DB...

There really isn't much difference between your average Canadian and your average American except this one thing: Americans won't stand in line for very long before they become annoyed. We get get pissed off too but we usually won't say or do anything. Some will leave but very few will complain to anyone in charge.

Yeah, but that's because you still feel a connection with Mother England where queuing up is a national pastime!

I really don't unless I am in absolutely no hurry. that way it is much less painful if it does drag out a little.

Good to know. Now I know where I can go to piss people off and they will take it lying down.
