How about Victoria, BC to St. John's, Nfld? Or Fairbanks, Alaska to Miami, Florida? As you can see if you look at a map, from Fairbanks or Ancharoage to just about anywhere on the East coast will be a lot of miles, and coast-to-coast in Canada is a long drive also. -- Alan Hepburn | | National Semiconductor | DON'T TREAD ON ME | Santa Clara, Ca | | alanh@galaxy.nsc.com | |
