<p>Odd that you have to give them 10 inches before they take the
mile in Metric. In Imperial you only have to give them an inch
(2.54 mm).<br>

originates from an EPROM based hardware key which
AMTRAK train drivers inserted into a Motorola radio in

It is the source of much confusion, and I much prefer
the term 'configuration file' which is much more
descriptive and far less obfuscating. </div>

there was only a faint display visible on

<div>It looks like a series of black
