Is that meant to be a "you would NOT have been able"?  I hadn't thought
of checking web or ftp, as I don't normally access either way, though.

 NB>> btw, did you forget we had a scrabble game going?  

 ml> errrmmmm... yeah... i guess i did :?

Suspected maybe so... Just went and checked last night, and it's been 6
months since the last move (mine)...  ;)   I thought at first you were
just occupied with other stuff, as you'd not been seen much in the echos
either...  KOTB's been idle, too...  ;0

ttyl        neb

... Nothing cures insomnia like the realization that it's time to get up.
