OT - LOL! - From Roleigh Martin's site - ' A Y2k project manager, a software engineer and a hardware engineer were in Ft. Lauderdale for a two-week period helping out on a project. About mid-week, they decided to walk up and down on the beach during their lunch hour. Halfway up the beach they stumbled upon a lamp. As they rubbed the lamp, a genie appeared and said, "Normally, I would grant you three wishes, but since there are three of you, I will grant you each one wish." The hardware engineer went first. "I would like to spend the rest of my life living in a huge house on St. Thomas, with no money worries and surrounded by beautiful women who worship me." The genie granted him his wish and sent him off to St. Thomas. The software engineer went next. "I would like to spend the rest of my life living on a huge yacht cruising the Mediterranean, with no money worries and surrounded by beautiful women who adore me." The genie granted him his wish and sent him off to the Mediterranean. Last, but not least, it was the project manager's turn. "And what would your wish be?" asked the genie. "I want them both back after lunch," replied the project manager.

Thanks CK, I guess this is why NGAUS's PR guy didn't get back to me after I emailed him those Worldnutdaly articles. Btw, the UHF system already exists. If anyone travels to there local NG armory (usually a HQ unit, they will see that each morning they do a commo check in each Army Hq's and "open the net". Back in the '80's I was tasked with standing by and acknowedging these authentication routines. And I, for one, am happy to know that they are making preparations. However, I'm a bit upset that they didn't manage the PR side better to prevent the conspriacy wackos from construing these prudent contingency measures as evidence supporting their own bizarre agendas.
