Lefty? yes... Lefty

Lefty? yes... Lefty... you remember Lefty anyone who attended a punk show in Washington DC in the mid 80's most certainly knew who Lefty was... Lefty would be another prime canidate for a DC Punk Documentary lets see what a GOOGLE brings up when I do a search for "DC Skinhead, Lefty" Black Punk Time at Rocktober Magazine gave me this- LEFTY - When D.C. produced Iron Cross, who many hail as the first American skinhead band, trouble was bound to follow.

MAC not PC okay.... I am a MAC guy and I am sure that there are many MAC GUYS using this BLOG thing but I feel that there is something odd going on at work I work on a PC, actually I work on the PCs while at home I play on a MAC but the interface on the MAC is not as simple and clear as on the PC someone help me out here I just finished a POSTING that I wanted to be HYPERLINK RICH but was unable to find the ICON and looked for the spell check, again, WHERE IS THE ICON? the world is not MAC friendly or maybe it is just me and I have not discovered the set up do I need to upgrade my Internet Explorer? (I was a Netscape user for so long, but the world would not let that happen for me....my SCRABBLE addiction at GAMES.COM was enough for me to not only start using Internet Explore, but to use it exclusively) In any case...... Is it this Jack Daniels or am I are some of he features missing on my Mac version of BLOG?
