What are you supposed to do with the extra two wires, use them to wrap the hot dogs? ,-) , if you couldn't guess. For a serious new flame: Banks suck! I don't like the fact that when I use an auto-teller card to withdraw, that money is gone IMMEDIATELY (which is probably reasonable), BUT, when I deposit CASH, it isn't creditted to my account 'til the next day (it usually doesn't even get done after 2). So, what is the amount gained at 5% interest on $900M for one day? -- Randwulf (Randy Haskins) genrad!mit-eddie!rh or... rh@mit-ee (via mit-mc)
