Gentle HP 3000 List Members,

A few weeks ago, I recounted the story of the man pointing out the countdown
clock at the post office as being an hour off.  I explained about daylight
saving time.  He left in a huff.  Well I was at the post office today and
noticed the countdown clock was missing.  So I asked the teller about it.  She
explained to me that all the clocks had been removed in all the post offices.
 It seems people were complaining about the doomsday aspect of the countdown!
 They removed the countdown clocks AND the regular clocks.  Go figure.

Kind regards,

Denys. . .
