Re: Mike C.'s got that covered
Mr. Campbell has the time to devise useful features like this because no one wastes his time quizzing him about the chronology of TV acquisition in his family. And if they did he wouldn't be dumb enough to answer.(No more personal revelations until someone tells me where Pre-op went to college! I've racked my brain trying to think of Marxist economics departments in US colleges in the mid-80s and can't narrow it down past a dozen.)

Better double them Ginko supplements, old beast. I already talked about my wild univesity years (www.behindthename.com/messages/5087.html), in response to you query. A propos, Sherlock, I'm no more a Marxist than you are a follower of Sai Baba (even though I was always partial to Harpo). Its amusing you came up with such a deduction!

For reasons unbeknownst even to me, I never saw your reply post. That was about the time my PC quit color-differentiating posts I'd opened and those I hadn't. Things do slip thru the cracks, y'know. Sorry to be so wearily insistent about things already answered.The Marxist thing wasn't serious, altho I must admit the occurrence of Che, bloodshed, revolution in your old alias and e-mail address makes one speculate.But to paraphrase Groucho, I doubt you'd want to belong to any party that would have you as a member.

Going to high school and college in Greece in the 70's and early 80's -- the apogee of "marxist chic" in Greece -- and *not* being one, was a very lonely affair. We even had trouble finding dates :P
