I have a friend who, out of principle, refuses to capitalize the second letter of Apple products like iTunes of iPod, because they do not follow any know rules of capitalization. Meanwhile, we discovered earlier that degree symbol which is now a part of the new Stargate series name doesn't work in the subject heading of Google Groups. For that matter, a few years ago, when I used Cyrillic characters in my signature, Google either blocked the message entirely or posted seven copies of the message, depending on its mood. All part of the fun of life on the internet (which Microsoft and Firefox both insist should be capitalized). -- Kevin M. (RPCV) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ TV or Not TV ....
