Ironic after my flame... TV alert...

[Computer Collector Newsletter]

Actually I just checked my local TV listing... it said this week's show here in
NYC is also about health insurance, and then about women executives (i.e.
Carly-inspired) -- but when I went for the interview, the show's anchor had me
on right after the women execs part -- so I think my part must be just a few
minutes at the end of the broadcast.
