And your school mascot has never made it into a Tarantino movie, either, which is a true sign of greatness...

Please, nothing says greatness like your school being the entire basis of a cheesy chick-flick starring Tommy Lee Jones and Cedric the Entertainer.

We'll just take the Mustang story with Lee Iacocca and move on.

It's funny. I like the story, but SMU people are the only ones I've ever heard tell it. I've tried searching all the Mustang (car) hisorical sites I can find and never see it in those. I guess we'll never really know.

Why do we not change from the pony to a Ford Mustang ('68 convertible) and settle this once an for all.

I guess I'm as stupid as the sunshiners all think I am, but I wouldn't know how to find my wife's e-mail address if she hadn't given it to me herself, PK. Sorry to disappoint. My engineering days were computerized to be sure, but even so, long before Al Gore worked his magic with the internet.

This is what I got from your one-word suggestion.

Don't see any e-mail addresses.

Try this which I found on google while looking for Lee.

http://www.theemailfinder.com/

Of course what you don't know is whether or not he uses a wierd cyber world alias...but then wouldn't you if you were him.

You also might try to reach him via his foundation although he does not have a listed e-mail there, surely one of the officers would be glad to forward your e-mail to him.

Microsoft Windows - you have the ability to change your pointer and the default hourglass for thinking if you are a Windows user to what is no doubt inspired by the SMU Mustang. (Its a red mustang that runs in place as a substitute for the hourglass.) Go to Settings/Control Panel/Mouse. This cannot be coincidence. Do we have a SMU alumni working at Microsft or what?


I work at MSFT - I'll try to find this out, if it's possible.
