Hey Dave,
Jeff Hellige, you and I are neighbors! Heck, Jeff was over a couple of weeks ago
and I gave him the grand tour. I really enjoyed it. Four hours went by and it
seemed like we had barely started. We all ought to plan to get together for
trades, show-and-tell, etc.
Computer people are a dime-a-dozen these days. Vintage computer people are a rare
breed indeed, but I am glad I found this place. Thanks, Jeff!
