Re: Tirade

Paul, I recieved your message Sat. after I got off work, spending all day in front of that F------ computor. And tomorrow when I'm in a better mood, I'm going to reply at length to you. I feel the same way. I've got lots of "grey" whiskers and and my feeligs are that a computor still cannot go to the field and take dimensions. Talk at you tomorrow.
