The 'Clinton economy'? No, the Clinton economy was the the previous recovery, and combined budget surpluses at the equivalent time in the business cycle with stronger job growth. > I sympathize that you apparently didn't realize this before you came back. I suppose you would have done better staying in Australia. Sure, *I* would have done better, but while I was gone the radical right wing loonie toonies took over Washington, and when I came back they started to lose power ... so I guess staying home is just the responsible thing to do. And with any luck, some of the loonie toonies are only crazy with respect to politics, and now that they have more time on their hands they can start a hobby, like playing around with legacy computers. That would be a real win-win.

I only recently discovered the DTV and was wondering whether the majority of targets still stock them? I had heard that some have sent them back to the wholesaler.
