thundercat These are not brands. That does not answer the posted question that I asked. 1GB is the size and your operating system was definitely not the subject of the post.

thundercat We also use them as garbage bags in the small garbage bins around my house. That is a great way to reuse them. We basically accumulate them until we have a lot then just take them to the supermarket the next time we go.

thundercat Thank you for the response. In the future please remove the caps lock on your keyboard because it is impolite to type in all caps as doing so is interpreted as yelling. Just common forum etiquette.

thundercat I think ad revenue is based on page views and ad clicks. Simply having 50,000 members doesn't mean that members are reading the ads. For them to make money people have to see the ads or click on them. An advertiser is not going to pay a lot of money just...
