Hey everybody...
I'm gonna have to leave this thread as my puter is going to the puter
doctor for surgery (10 gigabyte memory on sale locally for $99!) and by
this time next week, I'll be cooking!!  It won't be long and I'll have the
website redone and have a huge yard sale on ebay (got too much junk and it
needs to GO....anybody with tips?  Ebay scares me!!).  I'll be back soon!!!
 Don't do anything exciting while I'm gone!!
