You guys are awesome. 1000 points to both of you.
In case you don't get that, it's from the TV comic
show, "Who's Line Is It Anyway?". Anyway, the points
are meaningless. Yes, the points are about as useful
as a 10Mb ethernet card in the Apple IIs slot zero.
Well, I've made enough of an Arse outta meself for
now, but thanks so much for the ZIP'ing of those 2
issues and I hope I get the others soon. I know, they
are lots more work and will take a while. I'll wait.

Thank you again,

P.S., what was that link again?  8O)
