Well hell if it's Old Timer's Week, I'll play: I happen to know that the Evil Thread Warden is on vacation and a few off topic, irrelevant but highly amusing observations will escape sanctions from his Su-ness.
Apparently the Q has been adopted by every day-trading dot. comer internet whacko from here to east jeezus. Some guy named Cramer (sp?) has a call-in show spreading stock investment wisdom to the masses. My wife called me as in "get your fanny here quick--they're talking about Qualcomm on the radio"--I arrived to hear some lady saying she'd just sold the ranch to buy the Mighty Q, and I quote, "because she'd heard it was splitting 4 to 1".
Folks, this whole ride has been more fun than a sand wedge I holed out from 80 yards, but when idiots like that are throwing bucks at it, buckle your seat belts cuz they'll pull the trigger at the first signs of turbulence.
O.K. on to more important things [this is an official techno-SOS]--panic call from Number One daughter now residing in New York and reporting that her Sprint PCS phone doesn't work for crappola which presumably means she's missing important calls at assorted clubs, lounges, bars, and other vital gathering spots for the Gen X\Y ers littered about Manhattan. Who's got the answer? Should we do the Bell Atlantic thing, Air Touch? What works in the Big Apple? Needless to say, this is absolutely a top priority request.
Last on Surfer Mike's list: how can we start a write-in campaign to get Gregg Powers back? Word is that some flamer chased him away and now he's toiling in the Yahoo fields. I'm willing to put it all on the line: a vow of no more cornball jokes if he returns. Anybody else willing to answer the call? Best regards to all, SM
