That doesn't add up to the 120 votes needed.  I won't pursue this if
there aren't enough votes.  On the other hand, throw in those who
post to the message area at www.powerbasic.com, and get a few people to
ask their friends and coworkers to go to news.groups and vote, and
you just might have enough votes.  Or maybe not.
