Maybe then I got the messages that were supposed to be yours, in  
addition to mine. :-P  Can that happen? I'm pretty sure not. Seriously,  
there seem to be some odd glitches in this otherwise very nice Mail  
program Apple is pushing now. Of course my ISP is a rural telephone  
co-operative, so who knows where the problem is? Jon? It was a  
transient thing -- I got duplicates of all the Psubs messages for maybe  
3 or 4 days. And actually, I don't recall that happening with all of my  
mail -- just the Psubs.

MST3K did that one. I have that version on tape, not yet watched.

Very, very personal submersibles:
Seems like folks here might be interested in these. They're R/C or IR  
controlled subs, cousins of those micro R/C cars they were hyping at  
Christmas, small enough to drive around in your aquarium. I've been  
searching for US distributors of the first ones, which look like the  
tiniest - but no luck yet.
