Jerry--

Hey, I heard that MS rumor too somewhere. Over some wierd beans if I recall.
All the to California, straight outta soy bean country, and I'm paying to
eat the darned things!

I heard from a pretty good source the other day that the LIPI program is
near the on-again stage. Also, the IBMer I spoke with said previous
subscribers would be kept in the loop and at least have a bone thrown their
way as to getting the new stuff.
