When you're driving a car, it's not a fundamental difference whether the powertrain is gasoline, diesel, steam, electric, hybrid, warp drive (well, maybe...).

But if you just want to putter around town -- or go on vacation -- it doesn't matter. -- Robert Krawitz <rlk@xxxxxxxxxxxx> MIT VI-3 1987 - Congratulations MIT Engineers men's hoops Final Four!
