They were red, whit and blue. >Christine (UCI481@URIACC) I did not see the flags and was wondering what they looked like. Also, does anybody know where the colors red, white and blue in flags come from and what they mean/symbolize? I'm wondering because there are more flags with these colors such as the Dutch, French, British and American flag. v Milos van Leeuwen +----------------v----------------------------------------------------------+ | M I L O S V A N L E E U W E N -- VAM9360@WOOSTER (Bitnet) | |---------------------------------------------------------------------------| | College of Wooster, box C-2936, Wooster, Ohio, 44691, USA, # 216-287-3212 | | OR: Copernicusstraat 64, 1098 JJ, Amsterdam, the Netherlands, 020-944272 | +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ (\/)ilos says: Quit reading these messages, and get back to work. :-)
