Well, after all that, she still hasn't contacted me. I don't bite, u
know, & even if I did, I'm current on my rabies vaccinations. I've
been a technician of these beasts for 15 years now, & even helped to
fix someone's computer so she could get on the For the People site--&
it spoke spanish (that was trippin)! So I'd b happy 2 help her if she
wants it.
