Working in upstate NY (Rochester), although the toy-happy UNIXheads
were imports: one was from the midwest and the other was born in
California. The toy-happy NT group was a local product, I'm sorry to
say. The entire systems group was born in or near to Rochester.

Funny, I was able to highlight and copy that article both from
Communicator and from AOL (IE-based). Couldn't use IE itself; it
keeps crashing ever since I installed the latest bug fix. It
wouldn't print (menu command grayed out) but copied OK and also saved
to a disk file so I could print it from there. Weird. I've run into
other apparently non-copyable sites that worked fine for friends.
Aren't computers fun <g>?
