The Liberace Museum - Mark, thanks for reminding me. Maybe I'll skip the "Page Faults And You" talk and pay a visit. I'll bet there are some fine Liberace souvenir items available there. But first, I'll go have breakfast at the "all you can eat" $1.99 Circus Circus buffet. "Oh Mike, didn't that man spitin the eggs?" An experience not to be missed. -mike -- Mike McCurdy * mccurdy@ucselx.sdsu.edu *
