(Oh oh...) Yah! Actually, why don't we get the CBC to agree to let us use "Hockey Night in Canada" as a carrier signal for the distribution of news across the country? (You know, we could use the same technique they use for the hearing impaired (closed captioning?) as I am sure that they don't use that technique for hockey!) The only problem with this scheme is that it makes for slow news retransmission in the summer. Oh, of course, capital :-) (Lest I forget) Denis, fortin@cae.UUCP PS. As for using the Stanley Cup as an antenna, I don't really mind: it would probably end up in the Montreal area most of the time anyway! (but what would we do if it ever ended up in California?!?) :-)
