  I imagine that you have seen the Rotunda synopsis by now.
The decision is yours. I will try to keep up on any other
postings and relay the pertinent information.
  Things have been a bit crazy for me lately as I am trying
to set up an Internet service and the phone company and
the companies that I can hook up to the Internet to are
giving me FITS. I typically have to talk to 4 or 5 people
before I am finally connected to the person who can give
me the information that I want, IF I can reach them when
I call... otherwise, we start a game of phone tag. Well,
things can't get MUCH worse (unless competition moves in).
