	--In addition to the young'uns it would behoove us to ejumikate
the old 'uns too. Remember when CNN used to have 'Science & Technology
Week', a digest of all things relevant? It disappeared on 9/11. Now all of
their spare broadcast time seems to be dedicated to tedious rehashings of
various gruesome murders. 'If it bleeds it leads' has become the credo of
this previously leading source of all things technical. If I had the
ability to put a bug in the ear of the Powers That Be I would encourage
CNN (and other networks who have strayed from the path to the Future) to
get with the program, lest we revert to a nation of Luddites and take our
seat in the back row with other third world powers.
