No doubt we'll get there with these presidential alerts, just give it time :-) I'll get "amber alerts" regionally and just about every time it's nearly impossible that I could even with the best of intentions do a thing in response. Some non-custodial parent absconded with two kids 50 miles from here in a black honda or toyota...ok gotcha I'll keep my eyes peeled...no doubt a terrible and stressful event for those involved but... So I tend not to be in a big rush to look at those alerts, actually I think I turned them off which in that case was an option. -- -Barry Shein Software Tool & Die | bzs () TheWorld com | http://www.TheWorld.com Purveyors to the Trade | Voice: +1 617-STD-WRLD | 800-THE-WRLD The World: Since 1989 | A Public Information Utility | *oo*
