[FARC] 145.75 w3fdk-9 w3fdk-3 packet

Sat Jul 17 14:38:43 EDT 2010

Eric,

Ok and I  hope what I experienced is helpful.

Take care and good work around!! That's what happens in the real world of 
ecomm,
one has to do whatever necessary to  make contacts  !!

My philosophy, the first  thing that goes wrong in an emergency is 
everything !
