Great tool, about time.

However I know some west Texans who own older airplanes and no e-mail
capability.
The guvmint agencies now assume we are all hooked up to the internet,
but some folks are not, or don't check e-mail very often, or simply
prefer to be "off the grid."

Burt,

You are quite right, great tool for me, but not everyone. The Internet
is not a panacea, although penetration has reached that of the
electric dynamo (.com was premature). That said, there are many free
e-mail choices, generally accessible at the local lending library even
though it may be 50 miles for some.

This type of decision is a bit like the 121.5 FCC decision I suppose.

Among the few governmental contractors I know, next contract round
will take in 10-25% pay cuts, so clearly the Fed is looking hard at
cost saving and there are low-ball bids out there. Of course, a
10-20% pay cut across the board is probably not on the table for
bureaucrats and congress, though it should be. Deflation is a painful
process on a personal level.

Reminds me of when the USPS took over from the US Post Office. Still
not a good idea on several levels.
