[Electronics-talk] Disappointing News

[ckrugman at sbcglobal.net]

The service has been taken over by bing.com and the same service is 
accessible with a new phone number at 1-800-2464411. aUnfortunately, this 
was not communicated during the transition but others have posted the same 
info on other lists.
