UGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!  Area Codes!!   I used to be one of the Area Codes IT
conversion coordinators for Ameritech Customer Billing.  Now that metro
Chicago has 6, and metro Detroit is getting it's 5th..... I am way glad I no
longer have to work conversion weekends for free......  (left Ameritech 2
years ago).
