I grew up in Boston using the same term, and was amazed when nobody in Michigan (where I went to grad school) knew what that meant. Thereafter I just assumed that only Bostonians say "bubbler". I guess Milwaukee is another pocket of civilisation in this wasteland. David Simen ...!homxa!dcs (Note new address)
