glad you read Hutch's post..guess he is finally getting you to do some mental gymnastics for a change. :-) even though you implied you didn't like it..good way of trying to have an overview rather than just be a trendfollower

Bugs force FAA to put older radar system back (Y2K) << The malfunctioning air-traffic radar system that was taken out of service this week after causing serious delays at Chicago's two major airports will be repaired by June 30, the Federal Aviation Administration said Thursday. Restoration of the balky system is important beyond its advanced technology: It's the only software used to direct local air traffic that is Y2K compliant. The system has failed repeatedly since last summer -- and has been removed entirely twice -- so officials are eager to reinstall it with plenty of time to spare before New Year's Day in case more glitches occur. >> < One of the problems, called "ghosting," involves the display of non-existent aircraft on air-traffic controllers' radar screens. The inherent danger is that a controller might think the ghost aircraft are real and respond by directing other planes accordingly. >> chicagotribune.com Picky, Picky ... So much for best laid Y2K plans. ***** Re Is this an accelerated devaluation move by the Brits? Hi DD, I really think it is big money talking ... almost all these guys in politics are on the take, otherwise why would they put up with all the crap that goes with the job. It sure isn't the salary. I think some very big money interests just called in a favour they were owed ... Bad for the pound or the British people? ... Who cares? John
