Well, our city did balloon, and there are more nasties here than
 ever. Being blind, I'm sure he has had his share of 'well meaning'
 thieves. /-:

It was a step he had taken long ago, but needed some configuration to,
 or installation of. He asked "How much will this cost me?" I almost
 didn't know what to tell him, but "Nothing!"

The shareware is mostly unregister-able, and the call would cost you
 all of a dime... Er, thirty-five cents. <-;

Well, in a small town, you almost have to hide payment for a job in
the persons clothing to avoid the arguments it would cause, and
Huterites - as long as you don't leave the collective - will trip over
themselves trying to help one of their kind.

It's the same kindness, I've encountered in my earliest days, to today
on Fido.
