It could be useful though. A couple of years ago I was trying to get back into the U.S. "Where are you coming from" the custom official asks. "New York", I says, "I was there for a family reunion." "How long have you been in Canada?" she asks. ""Five and a half hours" I reply. "Three hours driving and 2.5 hours sitting here in line." "Out of the car smart-ass" she says. "Open all of the doors and the back of your vehicle." Now if she could have read my phone's location database she would have known I was telling the simple truth and not being a smart-ass at all. stan -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
