John Delorian was found innocent of all charges at about 2p.m. today." What a funny concept-- a "News Flash" on this network. Like lightning, computers all over the country drop everything they're doing to forward this tidbit on to the next site, terminals the world over beep... NEWS FLASH!!! We sit in eager anticipation, what could it be?? As though I am glued to this thing for hours on end, days on end, cut off from the outside world, so that by the time tellab1 calls x who calls y who calls z who calls my computer, by the time I call net.general, hey! I've got some NEWS!!! Hey, everybody.... DUCK!!!!!!! zinfandel!steve
