To CASINO LISTSERV subscribers and my friends (and enemies): the S.U. listserver will be down from th 31st until Jan. 2 (ostensibly to do some prepatory work for Y2K). Thus, private e-mail messages to me will be queued and I will respond to them when I can get to them. But CASINO subscribers, we've been asked not to use the listserv until January 3.

Happy New Year, millennium or no millennium.

By the way, fellow chippers, I will be away from any computer from the 3rd until the 12th so Jim or others will have to patrol eBay.
