Ditto. I just got an old G3 ibook. Haven't had enough time to develop an opinion about it.

I rented a full auto MP5 once. If I had a class A license and $10k burning a whole in my pocket, I'd definitely own one.

As much I've liked carrying a C-7, C-8 or any version of an AR-15, still prefer any version of an AK, or CZ-858 style of rifle. Even the Yugo made M70s and M64a are very nice rifles. Have nothing bad to say about AR-15 style rifles, just have no real use for them. Have always found the AK style rifles to be more common, and the 7.62x39 round are always easy to find. Unless of course you are some where in the US, but every where else always lots of 7.62x39 to be had and used.

Yes, I know the AR-15 style of rifles comes in many calibers, from 22 LR to all the way up to .308(7.62x51). Have used them in 9 mm, that was fun, but not very use full unless every one is carrying 9 mm rounds. Have not used new SPC round yet, but to me that is just a gorified .270 type round, so who cares.

Now the 5.7x28, that is a nice round.

Do like .308 round in a bolt action, for example in a 788 Remington. Mostly use 150 grain bullets, with TAC powder, or IMR 3031. Like the 168/9 grain bullets, and the 180s, but find the 150 grains easy to find. Prefer TAC to most other powders, but do like IMR 3031, and 4198. IMR 4064 seems to be cause the .308 round to not eject with ease. And mostly only use the generic balk bullets, just because they are cheap, and shoot well enough for me.

The Ruger mini-14s are fun, and yes they are in .233.

Pistols, still love the Inglis, with a 150 grain lead bullet, or a 160 grain lead bullet, with power pistol or unqiue for powders. Have used other 9 mms, even newer Hi Powers, but still prefer a Inglis in most environments. They are tough, can be dropped, and will shoot every 9 mm round one would want to put though them.

HK P7M8, are nice and have carried one a few times. Police departments should have went to them, over anything else. The are really safe carry pistols.

Smith makes some nice autos, like the model 39. 1911s style of pistols are nice, but still prefer a good Inglis. Have used various CZ pistols like the 75 and 75b. The CZ-75(b)s, are rumored to be the most common pistol in the world. Not sure that is true, but they do show up often.

In revolvers, like most single actions in .45 Colt, or .44-40. The 72 open top pistols are nice with the navy grips. Model 29s are good, and never had an issue with any Model 29.

Not sure which CPU, I like to run OpenBSD with the most. Would be a close race between any PPC, or any Sparc.
