Re: Definitions For The I.T. Challenged
I wish I had seen those a couple of hours ago. Home sick and tried to pay my cell phone bill over the web and their website wouldn't let me! I tried last night and got one error then this morning and didn't even get that far. Being a computer programmer by trade I really like the beta test definition!

The other advantage of 357 over 44 magnum is how much a box of 50 44 magnums tenderize the shooters shoulder! Between that and 44 mags cost I wish I have gone for a 357 instead of the 44 magnum.
