Obviously, this discussion has already made its rounds once, but I
found a new piece of data yesterday that might spark some interesting
remarks.

According to the April issue of "Technology Illustrated" (page 64) in
an article titled "The New Mobile Telephones":

	"The FCC has authorized 666 channels (for two-way communication)
	in the UHF band for the new service [cellular telephones]."

The article later goes on to say that the Bell system is the largest
(although not the only one) of the companies getting into the act of
producing user-end equipment for this project.

Kinda gives a whole new slant on "the number of the beast".  (Maybe you
can reach him [it?] by cellular telephone soon!)

Not afraid to use the "6" on my phone,
