Since we're spread across time zones, I think 24 hours is a good
minimum.  If something is set to 12 hours now, doesn't look like it's
working:  when I wrote my msg,  it showed (as I said) about 5 hours of
history.  Right now it shows only about 3 hrs, from Sat 15 Apr 2006
21:47:13 GMT to now (about 00:50:00 GMT Sunday).  This is under
Firefox on Windows, so nobody can blame it on an IE bug :-)

I don't care enough about osx.4 enough to bother ;-)  Seriously,
clicking on the waterfall display is much more efficient.
