Note that PEPCO has just started a major rebuild of the much damned system in Georgetown. It's supposed to take teraseconds to complete since the local merchants: Don't want any outages Don't want any street construction during the business day Don't want any noise or dirt... -- A host is a host from coast to coast.................wb8foz@nrk.com & no one will talk to a host that's close........[v].(301) 56-LINUX Unless the host (that isn't close).........................pob 1433 is busy, hung or dead....................................20915-1433
I'm sure exploding manholes and the unpredictable outages are so much better for business. Aren't the explosions supposed to be drastically reduced during the fall/winter season?
