   Aw... Sucks right back!   
      
   I *still* need to swap fridges here, but I lost my keys while trying to    
   affect that. Now I have something *else* to fret about.

   I'm sure I mentioned a *long* time ago - but I'll repeat myself for the    
   benefit of those who don't know how nutty I can be  - I had a gratis    
   dial-up I-net account for about thirteen years. Most of that time was spent    
   *trying* to keep Windows secure and up to date. Now that I can plug a    
   router between me and that "nastyness", and use *only* Linux for my online    
   chores, I feel MUCH more secure spending all my money on eBay. O-8*

   You KNOW I was asking in rhetoric, right?  What the kid could learn    
   from me about slipping under the radar *alone* would make his hair stand on    
   end WITHOUT "product".

   Oh, *so* glad to find the time to garner your thoughts again!
