I still have several hundred "licorice pizzas", many of 60's rock. Have a decent turntable hooked up.

This got wife to overcome fear & loathing of computers: I get a call at work one day, and wife through clenched teeth says: "I've got a 3 year old here who says 'Mom, whaddya mean you don't know how to load my program? I'm not about to look stupid to a toddler, you show me how this thing works!" :-) -Ben > > *sigh* Good times, good times.... > > --Ben Doom > Programmer & General Lackey > Moonbow Software > > ______________________________________________________________________ Signup for the Fusion Authority news alert and keep up with the latest news in ColdFusion and related topics. http://www.fusionauthority.com/signup.cfm Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
