Well, I lived in Florida long enough to know that grapefruit grows pretty much like other citrus--in clusters of maybe 3 or 4 fruit, but never anything like grapes. I put the book back down. -- John Chambers [...!decvax!mit-athena] If you're not part of the solution, then you're part of the precipitate.
