Done. Or will have been done soon, anyway. I'm leaving my dead-end software development job and going back to school in spring of 2005...at the age of 34. My parents are thrilled.
They're even more thrilled about my choice of major, but that's a story for another time.

Sorry, Scrabble players...it's a proper noun.

> The 406MHz (PLB) system is *VERY* new, it just got the OK for use in the continential US last July.
And it's 3.34 times better than 121.5! I mean, look at the MHz!
(Disclaimer: I used to buy a lot of Intel processors.)

Clearly our containment systems must be made of antimatter cats with pieces of antimatter buttered toast strapped to their backs.

Careful...it's a gateway policy. Before you know it, you'll be mainlining the hard stuff like trade agreements.
