You guys were up way too late for me last night. I was just getting in on the spelling bee Lol.
No the new front end style ain't for me. The best light-truck manf'r will buy a new design team next year i hope.
and Praise Neptune (I'm an old sailor) the Tritons went to 8 threads for plugs. That info was sloshing around in my brain somewhere, from reading y'alls posts before.
If GM sheds Pontiac, my wife won't be a happy camper with her new Vibe car.

Protein "Folding", or assembly, is the computer simulation of how proteins form themselves. We're trying to figure out how to correct the diseases caused by mis-assembled proteins. It's a distributed computing project that runs on our machines at the lowest priority using the spare cycles. This 'puter is on 24/7 anyway, this gives it something to do other than being beat on by my nuclear knuckles.
To quote the Folding@Home project: "Proteins are biology's workhorses -- its "nanomachines. Before proteins can carry out their functions they assemble themselves, or "fold." When proteins do not fold correctly, i.e. mis-assemble, there are serious consequences of many well known diseases such as Alzheimer's, Mad Cow (BSE), CJD, ALS, Huntington's, Parkinson's disease, and many Cancers and cancer-related syndromes.

RexB, I wouldn't worry about GM canning Pontiac. Your Vibe is nothing more than a rebadged & recladded Toyota Matrix with a lower price (good thing). You wouldn't have any problems if they went under.
Thomas Crapper DID NOT invent he flush toilet. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Crapper

But that kind of misspelling reminds me of an IT-whiz, outstanding computer builder and all around near-genius. A fifteen-year-old who still takes his iPod/Blackberry/WebPhone into class and text messages all day on the forums instead of paying attention. Bright but bored. Spelling escapes him, although we still voted him the most likely among our small group to be the first to make a million $ in a single year. We'll see, I wish him luck.
