In a year or two, Fractal Central will be moving from its current location near the northeast corner of Baltimore MD to somewhere in south or central Pennsylvania. The exact location is yet to be determined. Fractal headquarters will be moving because the fair city in which it is now located, (Charm City they try to call it), has sunk to levels that have gone beyond unbelievable to downright comical. I'll not go into lengthy details, since discussing politics on the list is off topic, but as a single example, believe it or not, the city school system, which recently was granted a multi-million funding increase and boasts something like a 33-percent literacy rate among its 12th grade graduates, is insolvent, and looks like it will soon go into receivership.
Hey, the only reason Hawaii's school system has a higher literacy rate amongst graduates is that a lot fewer students graduate! And (since our school system is statewide and part of the state government) there is no chance of it going into receivership where someone might actually make changes for the better! Any, I'd think there's gotta be some fractal that could come from such feelings! David gnome@hawaii.rr.com
