After all, if you dial any random channel in Atlanta, >two out of three times you will get "classic rock". Well, we checked the new format this weekend. (FWIW, the only pre-sets in my car are WUGA, WABE for when I'm in Atlanta, 99X, and WUOG, but for some reason I can't ever pick up WUOG very well.) Verdict: I knew the words to every song we heard, all the way from our house to T-Stand and back home again. I *like* radio where I don't have to actually listen but can still sing along. I also like new radio stations with no advertising because then there are no ads. (The Bridge was like that.) There are a zillion different micro-definitions of "classic rock"; the one that ex-Bulldog uses is okay by me. It's pre-set now. -kate, does this make me a geezer? -- _________________________________________________________________________ Kate Wrightson | kate@rigel.econ.uga.edu | "Mine is a life fairly teeming with little blaze.cba.uga.edu/~kate | elves." - Henry Alford
