I've seen folks wagering $0.75 or thereabouts on 88k futures.

The US Geological Survey (DIS II) and Sprint International have

will be around at least until the late '90s.

Any takers?  :-)

Q: How many managers does it take to screw in a light bulb?
A: Three.  One to find someone to do the work, one to take credit, 
   and one to <your favorite manager stereotype goes here>.
