 BL> The correct abbr for MegaHertz is "MHz" (some people capitalize
 BL> the "H" - some don't). I know -- picky, picky, picky... :)
 Would you be picky if someone spelled your name legrande? 
 Thanks for pointing that out and emphasizing it Bruce.
 Hz is for Hertz, a person's name, and those who fail to use the
 capial "H" are showing their ignorance to the entire world and/or
 their disrespect for other people.
 BL> (BTW: UTC time does NOT - to my knowledge - change
 BL> with the seasons - ie 'daylight savings' and 'standard'
 BL> like our local time does here in the USA)
 UTC __ and __ FidoNet do __NOT__ change with the seasons.
 I leave the clock in the BBS's computer at Pacific Standard
 Time 12 months of the year.  That way I don't have to reset
 events in FrontDoor and the BBS software twice a year.
