Sorry ‘bout that Fred! But it does have a good home! ;-) I’ve just been too busy lately to really do much with it yet. In terms of my last name, I’ve pretty much seen it all. ;-) BTW, the US Supreme Court Justice with the same last name as mine is actually my 2nd cousin! ;-) Which brings me to my little riddle: What do a US Supreme Court Justice, a medieval Spanish castle and Christopher Columbus all have in common? ;-) There is an MP 3000 on eBay at the moment (but it’s a little pricey): http://www.ebay.com/itm/7060-H30-IBM-S390-Multiprise-3000-Enterprise-server-H30/272741540000?ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649 <http://www.ebay.com/itm/7060-H30-IBM-S390-Multiprise-3000-Enterprise-server-H30/272741540000?ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649> TTFN - Guy
