I guess your system        doesn't implement the TZ kludge?                      SH> No problem. It was my backup, but I have a backup iphone        SH> now so no point in leaving it on a shelf if you can use        SH> it.              I wondered about that. I don't want to short you from a        backup.                      SH> LLoyd Roertson was the last news anchor I liked. When he        SH> retired I stopped watching the news. When I shared retail        SH> space with a recording studio for a while, I met quite a        SH> few musicians. Couldn't tell you any names now as no one        SH> made a big impression on me. ;)              Wrt Lloyd, I heard that he was the first news anchor to garnish        a $2M salary at one point.              It was an interesting moment.. when he first came into the        shop, he just seemed like an ordinary man who asked me if I        would take some books for the shop - they were extra copies of        a biography of Lloyd Robertson. Then it took about 10-15        seconds until I connected the picture on the cover of the book        with the person standing in front of me as he continued to talk        a little bit. It was that distinctive VOICE that sounded so        familiar. I was gonna say "Hey, you sound very much like.."        Then it dawned on me that WAS actually him. We had a laugh.        Apparently he has a cottage on the Baptiste Lake in this area.        I always pictured him as being tall, but he is not.              Wrt to the other Robertson, that dude is much taller and        probably over 6ft.       --- OpenXP 5.0.50        * Origin: Mobile?
