I guess I didn't know this.  I may have to try some.  I'm always open to
new experiences.  Still, it's those "pesky kids" who keep on trying to
help daddy with his mounting that is the real "challenge" in my mounting
experiences.

Vices?  I have no vices!  I don't smoke and don't drink (marguritas
excluded, and only on holidays).  As for lunch, I eat popcorn and drink
a coke, although I fit into the "most Americans" catagory above anyway
:-) :-)

Money's not the issue here.  Okay, maybe it would be if I could get
around the time issue.  Maybe when my daughter gets to the point that
she'll listen to what I tell her I'll give it a try. (What? you say that
day will never come???).

Ron
