I'm intrigued by the idea of "Today+." I just never seem to get everything done in a single day, but if I could get a day+ I just might cram it all in.

Well, the <a href="http://tigger.uic.edu/depts/adn/masscomm/announce/announcement.99641.html">first one</a> on the list that had a "Today+" also said: <blockquote>"The total time will be no more than 75 minutes."</blockquote> So as I understand it, it'll possibly be more than a day -- but no more than "75 minutes". Already an anomaly.

Thank you, Mr. Klein, for noticing. I was afraid I was the only one. That said, the entire website seems a shining and glorious example of 1998. I wonder who's in charge of this area of the website.

Re: Thank you, Mr. Klein... Yeah, the thing really needs a complete overhaul.
