I was told in school (years and years ago <g>) by my English Literature teacher that it was originally called 1948 - I've always taken that as rote since then... I knew it was published in the fourties, but I had always looked at it as an "alternative view" rather than a "future view" on the government and opression That's blown one of my "beliefs" out of the water <g> Philip Arnold Technical Director Certified ColdFusion Developer ASP Multimedia Limited Switchboard: +44 (0)20 8680 8099 Fax: +44 (0)20 8686 7911 www.aspmedia.co.uk www.aspevents.net An ISO9001 registered company. ********************************************************************** This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
