    In Hobart, we have 4 TV channels and nothing worth watching. In my hotel there are about 10, and it's worse. AND at 3 am there's NOTHING open in Seattle. I thought the US was a service oriented society ? Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++

      In India, we have hundreds of channels, and... *surprise* none are worth watching. I hate TV anyway. Cheers, Vikram.

                              I've just returned from Greece and a thing that have surprised me quite a lot is that all the films in TV where in English and subtittled in Greeck. It seems to me that these thing have to improve the English knowledge of people a lot, isn't it?? I haven't noticed because I've been in touristic places so it's normal to speak in English...
