Subject: Quote of the day

"Still, there are some things a big company can do that a small band of
 programmers could never hope to accomplish.  This was best shown to me
 this week by reader Brian P. McLean, who points out that according to
 his Microsoft Outlook 97 scheduling/datebook application, Thanksgiving
 falls this year on Wednesday, November 26.

"Thanksgiving has always fallen on Thursday before.  Wednesday may be an
 improvement.  I don't know."

 - Robert X. Cringely, from his "I, Cringely" column (November 7, 1997)
   [I borrowed a Windows NT PC to check this - it's true. -ed.]
