First we thought the PC was a calculator. Then we found out how to turn numbers into letters with ASCII -- and we thought it was a typewriter. Then we discovered graphics, and we thought it was a television. With the World Wide Web, we've realized it's a brochure. Douglas Adams I do have to wonder about the whole TV on your mobile craze. Apparently, there's now "features" made specifically for the xx-small screen. Does anyone on this list actually watch stuff on those dinky screens? My eyes (and maybe imagination) are not good enough to enjoy that. Robby
