Robert, I guess what bothers me the most about the tax cut thing is that while the campaigning was going on, it was stated OVER AND OVER agin that the middle class, those making &#036;250,000 or less would get a tax cut.  Now he is in office, that has dropped to &#036;70,000.  I just wonder at what point the govt. will stop the bailouts of banks and car manufacturers that keep coming back for another piece of the pie.  Too bad that Americans don&#39;t get to vote on all this spending&#33;&#33;&#33;<br /><br />Kevin, I keep looking at that test pattern too - maybe because I remember it so well.  When I was a kid, we had 3 local channels and PBS - no cable.  TV went off the air at midnight and they shouwed the commercial of the indian crying at the littering of the nation and then the test pattern came on.  I loved New Years Eve because one channel aired all night long - mainly the 3 Stooges....
