I figured it was something like that.  Hardly an encouragement for satellite
radios to become as common and ubiquitous as your basic pocket-sized
analog radio...

Well, neither do I, that's for sure!  But KC and Lacey don't mind if I 
get a little upset once in awhile, since I usually apologize with a fresh
can of tuna...  And my wife usually doesn't get too bothered, since when
I get upset, I generally go to the hobby shop and spend more than any
rational person in my situation would... (The spending bothers her less
than being around me when I'm upset...;-) )

known problems with IBUZ"?? ;-)

Don't quote me on that--it might have been a pre-Christmas or pre-Howard
