Alfred,
You know, I would like to hear that too. In fact, if anyone can cite a
good reference, I would like to present it to the radio station here in
Lincoln, NE that has a commercial talking up their 50 year anniversary
that says "50 years of making Marconi proud". I bristle when I here
that, and they play it every day on my way to work.
