This may or may not fit here but......

	I work for a computer company that supplies FIS systems (Financial 
Information Systems) to brokerage houses in New York, one of the video
displays is sort of a list of constantly updateing stock prices, as with 
any monitor, they sometimes need to be replaced. I can not tell you how many
times, as I was about to remove the monitor, I have seen a trader feverisly
attempt to write down all of the stocks on the screen, which is always followed
by the statement "Has this monitor been programed the same as the one you are 
takeing?". To which I reply "When you buy a new T.V..... Do you get different
stations???".

	And to think that these very same people are responsable for the
nations finances!!!! This scares me!!!!!
