   Thanks for your advice Daryl. We have a VE session coming up next Saturday.   
   It's going to be a large session too because there is a series of classes   
   being taught for all three levels of licensing, so we'll actually be able to   
   put all those extra VEs to work.   
      
   I wonder if we will ever get to the point where we administer the exams   
   with computers, similar to how it's done with driver's tests at the DMV? Of   
   course that would have its own unique challenges.

    DS> formed the "S expletive", and I thought "I'll be damned!!". But, when   
    DS> you looked at the dot and dash pattern, it made PERFECT SENSE.   
      
   Hahahahah! Very good point!
