Tim-
Perhaps ignorance is the root of all tech reporting, but I find the Tampa
Tribune to be distinctly conservative (ie butter cannot melt in the mouth of any
corporate CEO). After three years as a subscriber, I accidently got my hands on a
copy of the St. Pete Times. I switched immediately, and I prefer the quality of
the reporting and the more liberal editorial slant. Disclaimer: I am a Liberal
<note the captial L!>. Please direct all flames to the SLUG-Politics list.
