matt> That and network TV stations that actually turn off at night. I matt> fear, however, that I may have just dated myself. =) Oh, I don't know about that. Happens even in some big cities. For example, I was once Beijing watching an English language movie** in my hotel room. The TV station went off the air at 11pm, right in the middle of the movie. I'm guessing that Beijing is larger than West Lafayette, Indiana. [**] Apparently, they show English language programming as a language practice exercise. Huge portions of the populous are trying to learn English, but they have for practice mostly other Chinese who are also trying to learn English. So, the the People In Charge, actually watching the movie for entertainment value is a secondary or tertiary consideration. -- bill(a)carpenter.ORG (WJCarpenter) PGP bill(a)bubblegum.net 0x91865119 38 95 1B 69 C9 C6 3D 25 73 46 32 04 69 D6 ED F3
