| Greetings once again,
You have my deepest apologys for my absence and I have excuses
of which you can pick the one you like the most:
1. I was at a DEC school (VMS Level II) for a month and the
only network link is the definition of slow.
2. Us in field service are very busy.
3. My 14 year old daughter vol. to do some of this
typing.
So I'll try to finish the rest of the listings up before
the serious biking season starts.
