Of course its pork.. did you really have to even ask that? What you *should* be bitching about is the $10 billion (yea, 10 BILLION) they're spending on 7 miles of road (mostly underground in a tunnel I believe) in.. if I'm not mistaken, Boston. Talk about your expensive projects.. :) -- ---------------------------------------------------- drsoran@ni.cba.csuohio.edu M$-Win95 user: "Why is this running so slow today?"
