Guys;
This chatter is nice..we have a Chat List for exactly this type of
banter.
We require a few more members to make it interesting, to use this Chat
Line for "off topic" discussions.
If possible, and we all stray..if we could use "TechAssist" as a
reference for passing on Technical Info, and use the Chat portion for
interesting "Tid Bits" that may not interest everyone, but to some.
Since I had a couple of "Canucks" doing just that..I jumped in.
TechAssist has it all...
