Obviously this has been replaced by "Welcome to 1984". FLAME APPROACHING: I have finally flipped out at people who say "Welcome to 1984" at random times. You might at least notice that the weapon in question is, strictly, an ANTI-surveillance weapon, since it kills spy satellites. -- Don Porges ...harpo!inmet!porges ...hplabs!sri-unix!cca!ima!inmet!porges ...yale-comix!ima!inmet!porges
