In article <10e701c0f357$b13b6d20$e8b7c6d4@SOMA> you write:

The joke was that you had said you'd be stoned to death with PCMCIA
modems walking down 5th ave, but there are far more guys selling fake
Rolex's (lately, swiss army watches too...Who knew?) and ripped off
movies on VHS than guys selling computer parts.  If anybody's going to
stone anybody to death with anything on 5th ave, it'll be cheap
watches, not modems.

For that matter, there are more guys selling hot dogs on 5th ave, but
the idea of anyone being hotdogged to death is just, well, gross.
