Perhaps not germane to the point you're making, but when we moved into this house in 1974, pretty much the entire neighbourhood was on cable. There was an antenna here, but it wasn't connected to anything and I have absolutely no recollection of when it and the mast was taken down. This is in Mississauga, about 15 miles West of Toronto. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Manfredi, Albert E" <albert.e.manfredi@xxxxxxxxxx> > > Maybe he did mean that, but I would still disagree.
