Beats me, but at least some people can count. I am fully aware there were not ten there, but paying attention to what one reads before posting is exactly my point.
I always say, there's three kinds of people in this world; those that count and those that don't count.

8. Unasked question about early cars: what was on the steering wheel that helped the engine run smoother?
Spark advance lever? Adjusting timing.

I thought AlGore was.Well, Gore did some important legislation (cf. the Gore Bill in 1991) to fund the development of higher speed networks for the Internet to run over. More like funding highways rather than inventing the car.

I always say, there's three kinds of people in this world; those that count and those that don't count. I guess I'll spell it out: we were talking about Age. Dale being 104 and all that. I listed seven things and said there were ten. With age so goes the mental ability. Counting, etc. Only listing seven but saying there were ten was a poke at myself at getting Old. That's all.

as long as we're spelling things out, Dale never claimed to be 104; here's what he typed: However, I'm reluctant to introduce any new programs since at 78 I don't expect to have mastered just Mac til age 104 [EA] this may still make him the [current] oldest poster.. - joe (the old curmudgeon) friday

 twosleepy, you're awaking sleeping dogs. I'd already forgotten that it was you who spread false rumour. Anyways, you're the winner for honesty.

8. choke
9. crank to turn over the engine. it was done right-handed. my dad broke his arm when he was young cranking his brother's car.
10. train Even I, at a sprightly 31, knew these. However, I'm not sure question 9 has been completely answered. Nothing in my envisioning (or quick g-search) reveals why it couldn't be done left handed...
