While we're on the subject, could use some input.. (Wed Apr 19 09:41:53 2000 )

As long as we're discussing differences in time zones 
related to ordering, there's something I've been wondering 
about that maybe someone can help me with:
Do people in earlier time zones (ie california as opposed 
to here in NC) have an advantage when it comes to getting 
emails in for ordering cels?   I don't know how most cel 
dealers' mail boxes are set up, but in mine the messages 
show up according to how they were time stamped by the 
outgoing computer.  So if someone in california sent me an 
email at the exact same time as someone in this state, the 
one from california would still look as though it had been 
sent sooner, because it would be stamped as 1 am while the 
one from the east coast would be marked as 4 am, and would 
those appear at the top of the mailbox.

Just wondering if anyone thought this actually affected 
anything, or if some boxes arrange mail according to how it 
arrived.. because I've never really felt like I've missed out because of being in the eastern time zone, so obviously some dealers have something to compensate for it (or maybe they just check their email so frequently after an update it doesn't matter)
