    Yup, the Microschip and later the Internet (thanks to its strong, subsidized public sector hehe)

    For booze & beer, my thanks mostly goes to the friends on the British Isles (of course Ireland included). Sorry, English, but JD is no friend of mine. Glad our merkin friends are better at technology than alcoholic beverages

    Manchester, home of Boddingtons, was where the industrial revolution started and later the computer revolution (ENIAC 1). There was also some dud who had a lot to do with electricity (I can't remember his name but there's a pub in Sale with a plaque on it )

    It was also the location for the first commercial airport in the UK at Barton which is just down the road from us.

    However, the US & Microsoft in particular has better marketing and exploits technology better than us. I like Microsoft. I love America.

    BTW: The lyrics for your national anthem actually makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up whereas ours makes me want to end it all...
