Well, I can't speak about all of those, but I recall an incident during one period back in the early-80s when I was in between jobs in the computer industry: I went to the local comics shop to pick up my weekly holds and the owner made a comment to the effect that _most_ unemployed people spend their money on alcohol or drugs rather than comic books . . . -- Ronn! :) God bless America, Land that I love!
