Hi Guys,
I must not be worrying about too many things these days because this is
the only great mystery in my life right now.
As per the last digest, I still see this "?" as the universal symbol
icon to denote a ladies restroom.
For proof , I also see this symbol when I look up the text on the
Newtontalk archive with my browser, Netscape, rather than as an email.
http://www.newtontalk.net/archive/newtontalk.2004-03/1449.html
Every one else seems to see a trademark symbol, a Swedish/Danish capital
A with the ring on top, or a superscript 1.
I still see this "?" and indepedently I can type ^(TM) Å and 1
Still mysterious to me,
Jonathan
