Well, It's good to see you again, Paul!  Welcome back.  B-{)

It sounds like your pretty successful now, which is always nice to hear.
Many of us have added to the computer platforms we're comfortable with,
but keep our GS's nevertheless.  I've got a few backups too.  B-{)

I might be interested in PMPFax if I ever sent Faxs.. B-{)

That sounds neat, but then I'm not much of a programmer anymore.  B-{)
