Hi List :
Not dead . My computer was , for 2 1/2 months however . Myself , I
spent that time mostly out of town , 1 month on vacation and 1 1/2 months
on another Hydro generator rebuild project . Home once and a while on
Sundays and the time I did put toward getting the virus's out was mostly
quality than what
appears to be readily available .
Anyone have any links to good solid high-quality drives ?

How 'big' is your actual Viewport window , and as of

There is only one way
and also meaning the exact same thing . I have my
