I suspect that sweeps is in February as usual, and NBC has the Winter Games then, and ABC is holding back V because it doesn't want to get creamed.



My bad! Yes, I suspect that this is the correct reason. Why put up a show that you expect will get good ratings against the Olympics?

"I don't understand the sitting in traffic logic. If it's 30 miles to work it doesn't matter how long you sit in traffic."



Sitting in traffic maybe but that isn't how traffic works. Energy is lost due to the constant breaking required in traffic. Some of that energy can be regained with a regenerative braking system but that adds a lot to the cost of the vehicle.

"People keep bringing up the fact that there is a limitation on how far you can drive a battery operated car on a single charge. However there is a limitation to how far you can drive a gasoline powered car on a single tank of gas as well."



Perhaps, but it doesn't take me 9 hours to fill up my car at the gas station. Driving from NYC to Miami is a 1 day trip (well it is for a car load of college guys going to spring break). In an electric car it would take a minimum of 5 days.

"$35K doesn't seem that much to me considering the technology at the time"



You must be making a lot more than I do. 70 to 100 miles may be practical for some people but looking at the highway with thousands of people driving up to 30 miles into the city sitting in traffic, I think that isn't nearly enough. And my cell phone is dead because I forgot to charge it last night. I can live without my cell phone. It would be hard to get to work without a car.

As you said, a lot of shows go into reruns in December and early January because of the holidays. Plus, ABC has the Winter Olympics in February. So pushing it out to March makes sense. And do you think that November and March both being sweeps months is just a coincidence?

But they can't start games on the east coast so that us west coasters can start watching the beginning at home because then it will be 9-10PM EST start time, not fair to them.

I actually love that the games start so early here, no staying up past 9:30 PM needed here.

p.s. I am originally from Philly and grew up going to lots of Phillies games watching Steve Carlton and Mike Schmidt. I remember exactly where I was and what I was doing when the Phillies won in 1980. I went to a game in 1980 and 1983 World Series games in Philly.



When I was in San Francisco I loved that Monday Night Football started at 6PM. We would go out after work and sit down and have dinner and drinks while watching the game. Perfect!

I understand that most clothes designers want their models to be small but are they really demanding that they be that small!!!

I have what I thought was a fairly simple issue. I have a JTable in a window and below the JTable are an OK and Cancel button. What I would like to do is be able to tab through the entries in the JTable but when I get to the last entry I would like to tab out of the JTable and give focus to the okButton. This is not the default behavior of the JTable because the default is to have the tab go back to the beginning of the JTable. You need to use the Ctrl+Tab to get out of the JTable. I thought, no big deal, I'll just catch the key stroke and if the tab is pressed on the last entry, I'll set focus to the OK Button.

Here is the simplified code. You can pretend that there is only one column in each row.



Easy right? And it works like a charm... most of the time. If you are scrolling through the JTable and even editing entries, it works perfectly. The problem is if you double click on the last row and then tab. In that case, the key stroke isn't getting to the JTable and the focus ends up at the first row (the default behavior). I am assuming that the key stroke is getting to the underlying JTextField in the JTable and is getting processed there so I never see it in the JTable. My question is, how can I catch that key stroke and if I can, how can I determine that I am at the last row of the JTable so I can know to give focus to the okButton?

Thanks for any help.
