The lesson here, IMHO - is when the List expresses interest in an item - do
the auction while the item is still in people's immediate conscienceness.
And let the list know when it's put up for sale/auction. I don't know if the
latter suggestion was done or not, as I've been pretty hard on the delete
key lately.
BTW:
We were busy hard at work creating a standard image for all 2500 PC's we
support. One issue that came up was the keyboard configuration stting.
Windows 2000 automatically sets up the keyboard for US English, but we
wanted to set it up for Canadian English.
We couldn't, for the life of us, figure out what the difference was.
Then we realized it must be the "eh" key.
