<DIV><FONT face="Bookman Old Style" size=2>I checked out this board. I wanted to
check out the Tools, but it turned out I needed a Login Id and then I couldn't
Back out of the page. (<A

<DIV><FONT face="Bookman Old Style" size=2> I apparently
went somewhere far, far away from where I started, because I couldn't even find
myself in the History. Also, I would like to see more Show and less Tell. I
think that those of us who espouse technology need to use it so others can see
what can be done. Most people do better at reproduction than creation,
especially when working with new things. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face="Bookman Old Style" size=2>Just some thoughts. I don't Really
want to sound like the local kvetch. </FONT></DIV>
