Had to pass this one along… New Economic Index??? My rental has very sorry sewer pipes. The semi-annual clog reoccurred. So, into the Yellow Pages I go for plumbing roulette. The "technician" arrives ready to plug in the jaws of life and casts an eye upon my computer. "Is that an Amiga?" Gave him a demo of the Ham-E. Maybe the Amiga is finally catching on…

You should write more, Margaret. You have a great way with words. Ben

I have too many ways with words. My parents were from Kansas and someday I'll explain what it is to have 'your tail over the line'. My father used to farm with mules.

Well as I was told when you hitch mules or horses to a plow there is a leather strap or maybe a chain that goes around the backside. Now if the tail is in the wrong position relative to the strap your animal will buck and kick until the condition is fixed. It was my father's way of explaining young children's behavior.

Picture Thanksgiving dinner, fancy place setting, shimering glasses, polished silver when Dad goes on about how head sausage gets made. He starts with murdering the pig and ends with the canning, not skipping any details. Imagine the look on the guests that have come to dinner. Ooooh …. UPS is here with my IP manual… now maybe I can learn how you think this program should work. Blind man and the elephant problem here.

Sounds like a great thanksgiving. Except for you, and the pig. :^) Have fun with the manual! And – use the index. Ben

Ben; Read your # 29348. I'm quite sure that Margaret will take it in a proper light but……. -bill/ARS KB7LX
