Hey Dave and Supertimer-
I just checked back on csa2 after being gone for about a year. My GS
is still sitting patiently waiting to be used as backup when the dsl
goes down or this silly Presario gets tangled up. I still have 17 GS's
working in my classroom, but they will probably meet their fate when I
retire in a couple years. Sad, but inevitable.
