Hi Sila,
I did send them to you a week or two back; but TABI messages no longer show
me the sender's address (or Outlook 2010 doesn't), and so I sent them to the
address that I had for you, and I guess it wasn't correct.
If you'll write to me at acorange@xxxxxxxxxxx , that should give me your
email and I'll send you another copy.
They're all in one big text file as it stands now, but you can let me know
if they would be more convenient in some other way.
Thanks.
Chip
