Let's see, Panther (Mac OS 10.3) came out in what, 2003? You're only three years behind. That's not bad at all.</DIV><DIV>And the whole 3D interface thing, that's revolutionary. Or was, until pretty much everyone who thought of it BEFORE YOU agreed that it was fugly and pointless.</DIV><DIV><BR></DIV><DIV>But good try, Microsoft. Thanks for playing.</DIV>]]></description>

      <title><![CDATA[2003 Blackout: A glimpse into Colonial times]]></title>

      <description><![CDATA[My neighborhood has a Fife and Drum Corps. During the blackout, my parents and I took a walk and heard them practicing.

There they were, practicing by candlelight— it really seemed like a step back in time.]]></description>
