Antenna stuff

But the QUESTION was...my antenna won't work, how can I fix it?

And the IPOD thing will be useful sometime in the next millenium when
A) I figure out how to get the antenna to work, and
B) I can get decent internet service here to download stuff. Not so useful 
when one song takes 1/2 hour to download (*and your antenna does not work 
for FM, did I mention that???heh). Though I can go into town where they have 
cable to download.

IPODs are way cool though.

Cathy, "sweating to the oldies" all the way to Cincy, from the looks of it. 
Casettes and AM radio, woohoo. Let's do the time warp again, this whole car 
makes me think of my '70 from back in the day. With half the weight. At 
least it doesn't have an 8-track.


Required Cincy content: Are we there yet???
