Yes, there is that, ...

It has been acting up, more than a little bit, spent 3 hours connected to the 
'Net on my "borrowed" internet account, to get the Maximus CVS
code, and MBSE 
BBS CVS code.

End result is my telephone account is going to "suffer"
financially, at month 
end, but I have had a bit of fun in the mean time. :-)
