You got some right there, the computer is just a tool. Good job confirming what we knew about the MFB community. And after taking the kids to Mary Coyles last night, I can say with gusto, ice cream is better than computers. They have been doing it sixty years so they are pretty good at the ice

The difference between a hack and a pro are skill-level and the quality of their tools. I am picky about choosing tools. I spend whatever time is necessary to learn what is good and what is not before I make my choice. Thank you, Mark Snyder -Original Message- You got some right there,

Those building homes need better tools than someone putting together a few pieces of wood. Interestingly, when I have a friend of mine over who is a professional carpenter, he doesn't make fun of me because of the saw I use. He knows I don't do it for a living, I don't need the level of tool he
