[NJARC] Be the first on your block!

[JOE CRO]

Pete - To me, that's no bargain! I guess I'll have to reconnect the VCR and 
watch reruns of teh Miltom Berle Show, and "I love Lucy", etc., in B&W, of 
course! For the news and weather I can use the AM radio, until they take 
that away from us.

Did I hear somewhere that someone or something is working on that?

Just call me the supreme LUDDITE!

Best Regards,
                     Joe Cro N3IBX
