Hi Daryl!

 BM>If I had your history I'd probably do the same.
 DS>   We had 3 very close lightning strikes/hits here last night. You
 DS> see the flash, and hear the crash. I thought for sure the house
 DS> had been hit, and thought I'd have to call the fire department.
 DS> Thank God there wasn't any damage.

Years ago we were sitting in the Living Room watching TV when say a very
bright white-blue electric-type glow outside.  No noise, just the glow.
After an exchange of "what the heck was that?!" looks grabbed the flash-
light and checked outside, pretty much expecting the roof to be on fire
or something.  Nothing.  Got a brighter flashlight and rechecked;
nothing.  Checked in the morning when the Sun was out - not an inkling 
anything had happened.



 DS>   Weather held off...but when I left the funeral home after the
 DS> visitation Wednesday night, there was a huge complex of
 DS> thunderstorms with nearly constant lightning to the northwest.

Bad weather staying away was good.



 BM> DS>  þ OLX 1.53 þ "Mount your horses, men!!" "We're not that lonely,
 BM> DS> sir!!" --- SBBSecho 3.08-Win32
 BM>There is a mount command in Linux to connect to storage devices; wonder
 BM>if anyone has called one 'horse'?
 DS>   They used that command with the former "Stacker"
 DS> utility...which Microsoft stole the technology for their disk
 DS> compression utilities. Stacker filed suit, and won. Microsoft has
 DS> a habit of stealing technologies and claiming it as their own.

Yes, they do.  Wonder if anyone has stolen technology from Microsoft?  I
don't recall hearing anything; if not wonder if there's a reason when 
their technology isn't stolen?!
