i dunno, last night they pulled it out during AC360 for the SEC mea culpa in the Madoff saga (a bit of "Breaking News" that ended up on page 8 of the business section of my local paper today). i find the new style of it furling repeatedly left to right ad nauseum to be the equivalent of the old html <blink> tag in irritation factor. speaking of irritating, the ticker spewing the semi-literate twitter/ myspace/facebook comments during the Rick "cool internet guy" Sanchez hour seem even more inane being flashed up 3-4 words at a time. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Like TV only smarter.
