Governments are at fault for using Windows - the least safe OS around - for their high security systems. If Microsoft wasn't such a shit about dominating the computer world through their illegal bundling hackers and virus writers would maybe not have hated them so much. Any company or government that uses software KNOWN to have major security exploits is just asking to be hacked or targeted for a virus.

I could see a couple of these as educational or for use by child psychologists (the pee/poo and breast feeding dolls). The rest are kind of weird. Are you positive the reborn baby doll is for children and not adults? My MIL has a "baby" doll that is definitely not a toy doll to be played with. Also, when was the Pee Wee Herman doll manufactured? He was very popular before the whole icky incident.

Federal troops had Gatlin Guns. They were considered to be more humane than standard guns which produced a slow death. I'm not aware of them being used in any of the great battles though - I'm not a CW historian, just an enthusiast.

If I'm remembering correctly, the CSU Channel Islands buildings were formerly the Camarillo State Mental Hospital - rumored to be the model for the cover of the Eagle's Hotel California album. It's never been proven, but there was a building on the site that looked suspiciously like the album cover art. A friend and I once went there and were able to just walk into the buildings and through the halls. It was very creepy.

I use Mozilla Firefox and have no problems. Have you tried the site in other browsers?

I must say that I think the new site is lovely and easy to use. I particularly like the home page organization & style. Colors are nice and easy on the eyes. Finally, like so many others I'm sure, I am so grateful you ditched the cursor ads long ago, lol. Excellent work all around! Having been through some site updates on other sites that were NOT so easy, I give you two thumbs up on a smooth transition.
