In 1951, it was used to count part of the 1950 census and was so successful that the bureau bought another. What presidential election did UNIVAC correctly predict? More... Discuss |

Didn't notice it until you asked ; )
I need to get rid of it as I think it's causing the page to load even more slowly than normal.
I try to keep from posting more than one video per "page", as well as keeping the number of posts to a minimum. Sometimes I will adjust it to make the length of them match the right-hand column.
That's probably a bit TOO anal, huh? -bg-
I probably also need to get rid of the news feed because instead of gathering only news about the panhandle of Texas, it will post articles from Ohio and other states, plus articles from downstate online news sources.
Besides, I've got to make room for another Dallas Cowboys feed! lol
