Some good wholesome manual labor anyone? Having spent some of today chopping fire woood, I seem to be already preparing for that but no "dark age" ever really represents a return to previous conditions. Small technologies actually improve. Look at such diverse items as plows, horse harnesses, wagons and ships and how they were considerably improved during the dark ages after developments had stagnated for centuries during the more civilized classical period. bs ___________________________________________________________________________ Philadelphia Linux Users Group -- http://www.phillylinux.org Announcements - http://lists.phillylinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-announce General Discussion -- http://lists.phillylinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
