PAT] Out here (San Jose and the San Francisco Bay Area) I have had more than a few interesting calls with DA operators, usually when I ask for more than one number at a time... On a related note, and even better, I once went out with a girl I met while making hotel reservations for a Holiday Inn in Southern California. It turns out that their phoneroom is in Salt Lake City, Utah, and I just happened to be going there on business in a couple of days, so I got her to call me back when she was off work, and we exchanged phone numbers, and met in a club in SLC, (not a BAR, a CLUB!) 8-) :-) , and I'll keep the rest of to myself, but I will add that one should never discount the amazing things that can happen when one picks up a phone.... + Barrey Jewall ++ "My opinions are my opinions" + + barrey@novell.com ++ (rather self-evident, eh?) + + Novell, Inc.- San Jose, Calif.++ +
