[COURYHOUSE at aol.com]

Steve -  Yea that  would get their attention indeed!!!!
 
I would like to have one  like that at the museum set up.
kind of holding off on any  thing  until I see what  wonders
our list leader  Gil is  designing into the box  he  has been 
working on.  This texting  is one feature that is neat  but he
had  from other included  features that    seemed to make it a 
'one box solution' for the museum project.   Ed#  _www.smecc.org_
