To all - in case there is anyone else out there as uninformed about baseball as me -- I just learned today that the San Diego baseball team (which plays "home" games in Qualcomm Stadium) is in the playoffs. If they win tonight, they advance to the next round of playoffs. Since Qualcomm Stadium is mentioned at least a few times on TV broadcasts during every game played in San Diego, I am cheering for San Diego. (I am curious if even Maurice (and other overseas friends of Qualcomm) knew this stuff already). Jon.

Limtex -OT "Sauve Qui Peut" Love your sign-off. I saw it the first time when my wife and I visited the Waterloo Battlefield in Belgium. Incredibly Napoleon had returned to the head of the army after men sent to stop him on the Route de Napoleon through southern France joined him instead. In Napoleon's 100th day of his return from Elba, on the Waterloo Battlefield, he had been forced to throw his Old Guard into the battle. These were the most loyal of his men who had been with him on every campaign. Some british officer named Maitland had stationed his men behind a crest of the hill so they weren't damaged by cannonballs going up the hill (these had devasted others). When the reserve couldn't punch through these guys at the crest, the Old Guard fell back. Napoleon's invincible reserve. The rest of his army was shaken to the core by this. Then german reinforcements under Blucher who had forced marched all day finally started coming on to the scene for the British. The cry went up - you guessed it - "Sauve Qui Peut!!!". Literally means "Save what you can" or "Save yourself if you can" or "Every man for himself" but also has a double entrendre in french that means "Save your skin". (Skin is peu). Now I'm envisioning myself as some infrantry soldier in Napoleon's army and hearing this. Thanks Limtex...Sure hope it's not quite this bad. Tom
