I knew it just sounded toooo good to be true. But I tried to log on and load up and it was busy. All six lines in were full. Dang. Tryagain later.

This is either a good hearted person who knows how much some of us apes would like to load up a piece of this Nirvana or a clever ploy designed to lockup the WWW, six lines at a time. At least if it is a stab at a virus it won't become a pandemic until them get more servers.

We should give this to Boston Bob. I hear he is reducing the the Bentley to the head of a pin so he's got some practice. T.P. Stephens San Juan Island, WA
