Actually it's a textbook case of how important it is to choose a good name for your company. :) They actually did try to change the names of the stores here in San Diego for a while, it was a huge disaster. > 2) Why a shop that is open 24x7 has locks on the door. Some of them actually do close, but as mentioned previously when the clerk is alone in the store late at night they lock the door so that they can go answer nature's call. :) Doug -- *** Chief Operations Officer, DALnet IRC network *** To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
