  • Re: No more jet fuel in C

    I remember it being mentioned (I Think in When Heavan and Earth Changed Places - By Le Ly Hayslip). A charitable group she founded tried to ship C= 64s to school in Viet Nam, and the powers that be had a fit..

    Powers that be here, or the powers that be in Viet Nam?

    I could see that going both ways so I thought I would ask.
