[ST] laugh a little, then enjoy your ST again :-)



      Back in the 1800's the Tates Watch Company of Massachusetts wanted to
produce other products and, since they already made the cases for pocket
watches, decided to market compasses for the pioneers traveling west.
      It turned out that although their watches were of finest quality,
their compasses were so bad that people often ended up in Canada or Mexico
rather than California.
      This, of course, is the origin of the expression, "He who has a Tates
is lost!"
