[Ti] [OT] incredible time to expand an archive

[John McGibney]

process takes that long, the computer is constantly transported back  
in time so it seems like it only takes seconds.

Now if they could get that technology to work for the DMV.  ; )

My dog is very obedient,
he does what he is bid.
A sign said 'wet paint',
and that's just what he did.
