But alas, it has. And so in honor of our national holiday I've assembled a list of things that, well, I can't be thankful for. Once I've given you mine, why don't you give me yours? http://cgi.zdnet.com/slink?/adeskb/adt1122/2826728:8593142 # _____________________NEWS ANALYSIS_____________________ Sylvia Carr GET READY TO SHOP... MS'S NEUKOM DEPARTS... FBI LISTENING IN... It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...well, at least in the shopping malls, and probably at your favorite online stores, too.
