Paul C. : Is this blog called Digital Wilderness because it is uninhabited by an author?
David : It may be ridiculous to not be able to save seed, but liken it to a copyright. They invested the money that went into making the product, if the consumer keeps the seed the business makes no money.
Chris : Watched Food, Inc. Interesting... Makes me sick. Read a lot about Monsanto lately. Don't allow farmers to save their seeds...ridiculo us. And now they're doing it to Haiti by "donating" seed, which they can't save. Digusting.
Chris : Now accepting applications!
Paul C. : They should fire their webmaster...mayb e get a new content editor!
Chris : This website is boring

Chris : New pics up in the gallery
Chris : Haha
PaulC : Guess your poll shows why biggs is going out of business
NickMc : site works fine from my home computer. i'll check it at work tomorrow.
Chris : Almost everything was rusted, especially cables, rims and spokes bent, etc...
Chris : Nope, was in too bad shape. Lucky they didn't charge me!
David : Did you get anything out of putting the bike to pasture by any chance?
Chris : Paintball would be fun...hope I can find the time to play with ya'll
