Did these have the old telephone-switchboard style controls? I always amazed me that people could actually program those things. We had an old one in our shop for awhile, smaller one, ran up to 3/4" or something like that.

I hope she doesn't mind me saying this, but Freespirit is a gifted and talented designer of exceptionally beautiful furniture and has done more for animals than almost anyone I've ever known except Doris Day and Betty White. She use to rescue abandoned dogs from some of the most gang invested streets in Los Angeles County. I took out a Life Insurance Policy hoping to make some easy money--no such luck.

However, I'm going to be working in IT - mostly systems & network support, but also an amount of web design & scripting. We're only a small company, so we tend to take on whatever's going :-)

I’m surviving now with the pc repair skills I’ve learned hanging out here (and there). The economy here is bad and getting worse. Sooner or later something is going to have to go my way.WALDO
