Ah, I was clearly wearing my SOC (#659) hat! But in my defense it IS the last FULL week in July, for whatever that's worth.
In my earlier life as a gainfully employed contributor to society I developed custom software for a variety of applications on government funded R&D contracts. There was the "bid the contract" delivery date, there was the "mid-contract dog and pony show and why we're running behind but we WILL make the scheduled delivery" and, finally "well it's still buggy but we gotta get it out the door before funding goes away" delivery date. And I can spell "calendar", must have been a Spell Check lapse ;(- Doug W6JD -------------- Original message -------------- From: "Craig Rairdin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > According to my calender next week is the last week of July! > > What calendar is that?
