An amusing side-note to this whole blinking menu business... Joel West's
response to the question of blinking menu bars reminds me of the following
story:

	Tommy went to his father one day and asked, "Daddy, where did I 
come from?" Tommy's father sighed and realized that Tommy was now "old
enough to know", and proceeded to explain in great detail the fundamentals
of human reproduction (also quaintly known as "the Birds and the Bees").

	After the explanation was over, Tommy's pa said: "And does that help
you understand, son?" Tommy replied:

	"No, Daddy. Billy Johnson came from Detroit. Where did I come from?"

-- well anyway, it seemed amusing at the time. :-)
