        ETKA, opened a real can of worms here !  Thanks to all who have
offered words of support.  When I get rich from "selling" ETKA I'll by each and
every one of you a brand new Vanagon !
        So you wanna to go buy a burner and keep it running, gone through two
in the past year AND maintain your system AND keep a load of discs on hand
and a pile of mailers too AND then burn and check each CD, yes check... wanna
know how many duds I have in the pile next to me.  Then the ones that somehow
mysteriously don't work when they arrive at their destination and I have to send
out another copy.......done immediately without any question or charge.  AND,
answer e-mail after e-mail as to why it won't install and how to install with
this OS and that OS....AND address the mailers AND take them over to the Post
Office and deal with them.  Do I have to keep on ?  Meanwhile, I have a
customers vans in the shop waiting for me to fix them.  One man band operation here
folks.  This is not your neighbourhood VW dealer with a gazillion $s behind
them.
        AND...as for the stealing issue, wanna see my VW parts bill by month
?  Talk about who's stealing what where and when.  Check the price of the
output shaft nose cone seal on your Syncro tranny folks, $100 CND my friends, for
a SEAL !  That's just one example, I could list an entire page of them but
I'm, sure you get the point.  The parts guy at my dealer is happier than a pig in
shit that I call him up and give him the part numbers of the parts I want.
Saves him a whole hell of a lot of problems with looking up stuff, getting
wrong stuff, returns, credits, etc, etc, etc.  Well, you get my point if your in
the "Real" world.
        Anyways, I will not make anymore comments on this subject.  All it's
doing is filling up the archives with dribble that is of no benefit to anyone.
