          No problem on my iBook, John. I copied & pasted the link, maybe that might help?

            Last year on my 48 day road trip from coast to coast Linda and I ate at 36 restaurants that we featured here in Roadfood .com. We would not leave home with out our laptop loaded with Microsoft's Streets & Trips and the Roadfood Insider template so I can incorporate Roadfood restaurants, gas stations, hotels etc. along our travels ....... So it's a big thank you from us Michael and Steve........... I appreciate your effort.

            In your article Rushmore was quoted"We occasionally get troublemakers on the site, but they are usually not very smart and we have various levels of containment. If you really push our buttons you will be redirected to WeightWatchers.com "
            Thanks for the plug Steve and I want you to know I lost 12 lbs. already at the WeightWatchers website. ........................ lol

              Explains why that WeightWatchers website keeps comming up... Thought my computer had issues with me.. Awesome story though! Love it when you hear stories about the background of the site! I can never thank the Sterns and Rushmores (and the moderators) for such an awesome site...

                  MacTac: Thanks for the effort, but i still cant open it - maybe its my computer.

                  Anyhow, open it or not, I wouldn't still be here if I didn't like the forums and I thank the Sterns for their efforts. Rushmore? I 'll always worry about him...

                  Cheers, John

                        BEST SITE on the web!

                        I'm a new-comer, but have thoroughly enjoyed my visits.

                        As a retired professor with a younger "yuppie" wife . . . we do a LOT of traveling. On our travels (and even at home) we nearly always seek out Roadfood-type establishments . . . take photos of the dishes we try . . . and even write "reviews" for out friends.

                        While we are HARD-CORE Southerners, we are having a ball exploring all the roadfood "joints" in the Northeast and Northwest!

                        Keep up the good work!

                          Ctrueder,
                          It seems that we have much in common! I don't do too many formal reviews for the site, but I do try to do informal travel journals of our roadtrips to describe the 'Food-Finds' we make as we travel.
                          Next week we will finally get to the Dillard House in Dillard GA for both a Dinner and a Breakfast. We are looking forward to comparing our notes and photos to those of the Site-founder!
