    You sound like me!  My van unfortunately didn't start the last time I 
needed it.  Sat too long without being used.  Doesn't seem like it should 
drain the battery just sitting...  Good thing my husband's a mechanic and 
there's a battery charger in the garage. :)

    I'll have to check out the  usenet message area.  I have internet access, 
but rarely log on there.  I basically got it so I could chat with some people

Take care!
