Ohhhh nooooooo I don't forget.  In 1991, PC's and MS-DOS computers were way 
over my head. "Way too complex and obscure".  Five years later, I am a master 
across the wide gamut of personal computing.  I rose to the challenge, kind 
of based on how I was treated by people who "knew" all the answers but 
wouldn't share them with me.  So I went it alone....and conquered.
If I could do that, then most people could at least formulate the questions 
on how to adapt a mod for one scanner to another.  But no..... most of what 
comes out it...."how can I liberate cellular in my Snakebite XR7751........."
I know all too well what it's like to buck not knowing.  But that's not the 
matter.  It's the asking of questions.......
