Dave, a question for the more technically informed. For decades now we have used the metaphor of "tuning in" in a variety of ways. I just wrote an e-mail message whose full text was "thanks: stay tuned", meaning roughly, I'll get back to you soon. My question is, does "tuning" work as a description of what happens when I switch from one digital cable channel to another? Jim O'Donnell
