Hi
1. don't take a run up, well walk up approach.
2. Take some sticky tape with you and ask someone to lay a
strip of tape so it runs about6 inches down the center of
the lane, starting at the start of the lany.
Then, at least you'll know where the exact center is and
you'll have a point

That is a very valid question. I am still interested in making the

Hi,
No screen reader is required. Currently Genesis 3D uses any Sapi 5

Good Choice Thomas, Those projects have been weighing on you for a
bit now, and getting them done / out the door is a really important
thing. Not quite sure why others complain about having to run Windows

thing!
You're right, and that's why it's a great market to tap!…

If you can pick up a 7 10 split, you're wasting your time. You should be on

from either side of the 7, or either side of the 10, but all are pretty much
impossible on a regular basis.
