We're hoping that they'll change it to Kalamazoo as we're one city that is trying to lure them here. Also in the running is Grand Rapids, Holland and 2 other cities.
It would just sound plain weird though to say "I'll Kalamazoo it".

Right now I'm guessing that a few haven't figured out that even the big companies know how to pull an April Fools joke also!

I was a little sneaky Ron - if you highlight my first post you will see a little extra text in there (written in white - did it on Jims also). I will change the color a little for effect

A lot of people don't know that if they go to the lower left of asny screen in here that there is something also in white and you don't see it until you run across it. That tidbit tells you what RCU server that you're on. I'm on RCU1 right now.
