windows in this house are made of glass.

The best approach: order a large bag o' magnets -- in fact, order
several: they're fun for the whole family...  Gather the youg'uns and
the missus around and watch the media errors scroll by. Bring food.
Make a night of it.  The possibilities are limited only by your
imagination and city zoning ordinances.		    -- Bill Paul
