Well, if US West (insert favorite entity here) can't get a press release out with all of the facts straight, then _they_ are the ones at fault. And go back and read Eric's post again. What I said is _exactly_ what he meant. Never mind that it may or may not be true. He said it. I read it. I understood it. I read the story in the RMN and I also heard two different stories about it on local television. They all said pretty much the same thing. So whoever came up with the scheme, regardless of whether it was Alexander Graham Bell himself, or CRAY Research, they simply don't understand _how_ _people_ _use_ _computers_ AND what technology to go with. Pinheads never-the-less. Uncle Fester I don't pretend to be able to read Eric's mind, but I think his statements were pretty straightforward and clear to someone that speaks everyday English. And don't take the term 'pinhead' so personal, unless you somehow had a hand in this joke. Some of my best friends work for the phone co. :-) -- : Master, : Uncle Fester : Printed : : Me and Rex took the kar : thester@nyx.cs.du.edu : on 100% : : to town. Stay home.
