	Yes, and we also got genlock before the US. It is not readily
	apparent why; perhaps we are being used as a BIG beta test sight :-)
	Didn't CBM start out life as a computer store on Yonge St. in Toronto?

	I used to live in Windsor (across the river from Detroit), and every
	summer we would see people coming across the border with skiis on the
	roof of their cars! (not a lot of people, mind you, but often enough
	to make us wonder about the American educational system) It was
	priceless to see their faces when they were told they would have to
	travel about 1000 miles (or more) to find snow.    :-)  :-)

Now, where are my snowshoes? I'll just pop out to the local trading post
