 Well, how do, Roy?

So much for the "Non-commercial" credo. Heck, even the USR
specific echo was seeing little traffic. I think the last message posted
there was from me asking for a Linux program to tweak the resources of
their PnPray PCI job. Do I recall right that there is a "pnpdump"
or some such suite for that task? (I know, it's not the LINUX echo, bust
since I brought it up...)

You know, I had a gratis dialup account for over ten years. Quickly, my
time spent reading the crap was replaced with trying to keep Windows up to
date.

Did you tell him about the box of DC transformers you could sell him? Their
more special than the regular kind, didn't you know. 

My nephew one year wanted NOTHING but "Transformers" for his
birthday. I told him about the box of transformers I had in the garage.
(No, not *one* of those were the DC variety. ;-)

You taught yourself electronics, didn't you? I've been trying to increase
my understanding for some time now. (Hysteresis, and the guts of the
semi-conductor gates are about my limits.) Could you recommend some reading
material? I could get in and out of a TV without redoing the hairdo, but if
the part aint burnt, I have to look for the "fix-me" silk screen
on the PC board.


... perfect pitch by correspondence... Now *that's* a perfect pitch!
