Folks,

Every year it's the same - I forget UT midnight comes five hours before the
ball drops in Times Square. For an hour and sixteen minutes after the hoot
and holler in Trafalgar Square at least four radiofuzz timetellers still
squawked yesteryear. DCN1, UMD1, FORD1 and NCAR springs have now been
rewound to 1987 and all you guys can forget those whopping disk-usage
refunds. Thanks to Hans-Werner Braun, who reminded me of my annual first
duty of the new year and annual first resolution to figure out how to
avoid paw to keyboard in the absence throughout the world, as far I know,
of a highly reliable electronic way to find out what year it is.

Dave
