I've been leaving my computers on EST year-round for years... there's only minor mental correction needed... besides, this one tends to gain time... periodically I reset things just so that it's easier to deal with... ;) BM>> Tomorrow it's supposed to have a high of 48ø and drop to 21ø (a few BM>> degrees warmer on either side compared to last week's forecasts).

Why does "fat chance" and "slim chance" mean the same thing? Probably because chance is such a flexible thing....? ttyl neb .... It doesn't work, but it looks pretty. --- EzyBlueWave V3.00 01FB001F * Origin: Tiny's BBS - http://www.tinysbbs.com (454:1/452) .
