[ML] That's how much, about 1500 miles, slightly over 2000 kilometers, all interstate. I've covered greater distances in a day, but that's been driving at 100 to 130 mph. Of course, these velocities are legal around here, especially Germany. It is the 65 mph speed limit, and not the distance, that is deadly in the States :) /Marino > -- > > > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
