Works for me. Do you have your Vista Alternate Reality Firewall on?

Besides, Old Blue Eyes was Sintra.

All those musical geezers look the same to me. Sue, you must be a lot 
older than I am.

On the other hand, voting for Sin would be fine too.

Imagine MS putting up a $100M ad budget to promote sin! The Rev. would 
just have to hang it up.

I'm betting that he didn't notice the bit of the URL that got wrapped
to the next line.  This is a good time to remind people that if you
don't want to use tinyurl or similar service, you can wrap the
URL with   and most mail clients will link to the whole URL even
if it is wrapped across multiple lines.  Try it here

HUH??  I'm not using Vista.  Maybe I'll switch if they're offering an 
alternate reality firewall!  Seriously--it was my mistake--the link 
broke and I didn't copy the rest of it. :)

I probably am!  But you dare not give this nickname to ANYONE but 
Sinatra!  We need to up your musical knowlege. :)  Either that or 
your crossword abilities!

David,

I realized what happened and simply pasted it in.  I have TinyURL 
right on my Firefox toolbar, and use it all the time.  It really 
solves a lot of problems.


I also have the eagles' nest on my toolbar right 
now:  http://www.suttoncenter.org/eaglecam.html   in case anyone 
needs a diversion!

But then they will accuse us of talking down to them.

He just needs to listen to the Big Broadcast and maybe the Bowie Duet of the
Little Drummer Boy at Christmas time.
