You need to get out more Ron. "The price is right" has become the
colloquial expression for FREE, at least by software reviewers. It -used-
to mean inexpensive, cheap, etc., and long ago could refer to eating (not
dining) at McDonalds.

If I recall, ICQ is promoted as a 'free for a limited time' package, being
a wide-beta project. Since the limited time has been something like two
years, I still haven't figured out the true meaning of... limited time!

That's okay, I'll add your number to my list anyway! Perhaps together we
can learn something. <G>

For Newt, ICQ means "I Seek You", and while it used to be pretty compact,
the company has been taking lessons in code writing from the Microsoft folks.

ICQ# 13571158 -- old number, but not as old as Jeannie's (who introduced me
to ICQ).
