...received landed in my In box; the rest was automatically funneled to the junk mailbox. MSN 8 also provides automated virus checking and full-text search for messages in your In box. AOL 8's mail, on the other hand, is mostly playing catch-up; the program only now auto-completes addresses after you type in the first few letters (something MSN has done for years...
...upcoming holiday shopping season. For export-driven economies, the West Coast crisis was immediately con-tagious. First to feel the effects was the shipping industry, whose intricate schedules quickly plunged into chaos. Manufacturers' supply chains were the next to buckle. Honda, for example, halted production at its U.S. auto plants due to a shortage of parts, while suppliers to Sony and Dell were forced to ship critical components by air, an expensive stop-gap solution. Thousands of cars en route to the U.S. were among many Asian exports stuck idling offshore on cargo vessels or parked on Hong Kong...

The West Coast docks support an estimated 4 million jobs across the U.S. In Fremont, Calif., an auto assembly plant owned jointly by GM and Toyota had to stop production for lack of engines and transmissions, idling 5,100 workers. Such retailers as the Gap, Target and Wal-Mart, which expect to do 40% of their annual business during the holiday season, would suffer a blow to their profits...
...could be worse. They could be gifted auto mechanics or football players. But as women working in the male-dominated genre of comicbooks, they have a lot going against them. Even the advent of the subversive underground movement in the mid-1960s amounted to a boys club. Since then the number of women comix artists has slowly grown, but it still remains woefully tiny. Looking for a new work with a distinctly female voice can be a long wait...
