I never heard of any kids being hurt in this
lead-paint situation -- did you?


A bunch of unrelated stuff snipped

I find nothing relevant here, Stella, unless you'd like to discuss
some unrelated lead-paint-scare press releases from (among others) the
most corrupt politician in Illinois history, with the possible
exception of King Daley?

Let's start again: I was asking about the specific example of the
recalled Chinese toys that were painted with lead paint. Did anyone
hear anything about anyone being injured by this event? I can find
nothing about any injuries in the media.


Yeah, but you only look at faux news, so...

However, if a factory produces shoddy products, no one buys their junk
and they go out of business.


Like Microsoft... :-P

I've switched over almost entirely to Vista (three laptops, two desktops --
still have three desktops running XP) and like it.

Just as you like to drive a Cessna spam can, too, because you haven't
flown a real airplane yet. (Such as a Yak 52, Extra 300, Cap 232, Pitts
or the like.)

You are in the minority. I saw a report on slash dot that 2/3s of
computers that had Vista on them now have reverse migrated back to XP.
