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!
