It sure hadn't hit PA, NY, CT, or WV as of my last (a few weeks ago) trip through. I called the local distributor at my destination (Romney, WV), and they said they hoped to have it by Labor Day. I then called Get-coke, and they said it would probably be national by September, but it was up to the bottlers. BTW, all we can get around here in glass bottles is the gross new taste of Croke (does it really use dead frogs as a flavoring? I'm not sure I believe it, but you sure couldn't disprove it by the taste!). If you're within four or five hours driving time of Boston, and can give me a pointer for the classic thing in the classic bottle (glass crown seal half-liters preferred, but any glass bottle would be good news), send me mail. I will post a summary if you wish. If you're further than five hours from here, send me mail anyway, come to think of it -- will be useful when we vacation, and will make the summary more useful to the net. Besides, if we have to drive to Alberta to get the real thing, we have to. (The reaction of a border-guard when I give the purpose of the trip as coke smuggler might be amusing anyway. Or maybe not....:-)----| ) STella Calvert -- ---- William J. Richard @ Charles River Data Systems 983 Concord St. Framingham, MA 01701 Tel: (617) 626-1112 uucp: ...!decvax!frog!wjr
