My friend Steve McCormack read your post and agrees that figuring out how to light charcoal faster is indeed a "guy thing." But, as he puts it, "What else are you going to do at a barbeque?" As for that serger thing, when I was younger I had the engineer's conceit that I could figure out how anything worked (and improve it!) if I just studied it long enough. Nowadays I have come to realize that I'll never, ever be able to understand how a sewing machine works. Multi-dimensional stuff or something. -- Mike Elliott Elliott ASE fax: + 760 945 0219 [email protected] http://www.electriciti.com/~audio
