If it weren't for Americans, we wouldn't have TV to watch, cars to drive, or PC's to post hatred toward Americans.

You name it, chances are we, the French, the Germans, the Chinese, the Indians, and most probably the Persians - the greatest race that ever lived - probably did it first. Of course, the Islamic scholars were calculating the star charts when dinosaurs were still tramping across N America {I jest}.

Do your homework! You invented nothing.

Nice speech, though.

" Pure BS - you've been brainwashed. "

Surely that hurtful gent Sage is WRONG?

Perhaps not.

If I recall correctly the first car was a French car, It had steel wheels no tires and a steam engine with a boiler.

" It had steel wheels no tires and a steam engine with a boiler. "

I thought that was the Edsel.

" The Edsel was a marque of the Ford Motor Company during the 1958,
1959, and 1960 model years. The brand is known best as one of the
biggest commercial failures in the history of American business. "

Sounds like the Vista of its decade.

Anyway silverojo...don't take offence.
I'm just ragging you.

It's contentious, between the Brits, French & Germans - no change, there, then. Bit like flight - there were the Chinese dueling kites, Leonardo's sketches, the German model planes (they didn't think about putting humans into larger ones!) and the first powered, but tethered British flying machine, almost a century before Messrs Wright, but entirely in character, they had their funding cut before it could be perfected.....

Actually I was going to post about Pupeez, but when I came across this posting I thought... well, no comments. I guess I finally found out who are those "we" and whom they really hate.

By the way, back to Pupeez. Sadly, none of the network drivers worked for me. Puppy 4.1, on the other hand, recorgnized my Linksys PC cardbus and loaded Abacom System 21x4x DEC-Tulip compatible driver.
