Heres the info I had - At the time of its original release, Microsoft's Windows 98 operating system contained approximately 18 million lines of code. In comparison, Windows 3.1 contained about 3 million lines of code; Windows 95 contained about 15 million lines of code; and Windows 2000 contained somewhere between 35 million and 60 million lines of code, depending on what source you want to believe. The question/answer thing that you had was originally sourced from this site www.winsupersite.com/reviews/win98.asp which doesn't clearly state 13 million...quote'... Billed as the ultimate upgrade to Windows 95, Microsoft's latest and greatest operating system is all that and more. You've probably heard about Windows 98, or seen it on the news, and maybe you've attended a Windows 98 demonstration at any one of the many tradeshows that Microsoft has attended in the past two years. You may have heard that it contains 13 million lines of code and is the central figure in a battle with the Justice Department that may last well into the next century. Anyway thats bored the crap out of me I think we'll move on to the next question  |

I don't want to seem greedy, but I do enjoy these questions Lux.  Earliest sighting according to the bible is found in Ezekiel 1:4-5. That was around 593 B.C. It pre-dates the sighting by the Roman writer, Julius Obsequens in 100 B.C. |

Correct: Though there is some debate as to whether the 'sighting' mentioned in the bible, Ezekiel 1:4-5. does actually refer to a sighting of a UFO, apparently, according to my source. So your second answer would also suffice.

The countries that supported terrorists, namely Iraq, Iran, North Korea and (later Syria). He didn't mention Osama, the Taliban and Afganistan re 9/11? I'll give it a rest and let others have a go.  |
