Do you mean to say that my New Year's toast was invalid because I was watching the wrong TV station? Do you think in the future networks will compete on the accuracy of their New Year's countdown? "Get the Real New Year's on ABC with triple-redundancy atomic clocks scientifically calibrated to celestial observations." Will the neocon bloggers go off on a tear because you can't trust the government to provide an accurate New Year's? ************************************************************************ * ==> QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in <== * ==> the body of an email & send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <== * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?
