Wow -- a lot going on tonight!

Ken, I can't tell you how happy I am to learn of someone under 40, even 
under 50 who's gotten into this gear.  (I'm going on 61, and don't want 
to be the last man standing in a decade or two.)

Are you familiar with the Y2K manual and Al Tirevold's web site -- lots 
of good stuff there including Pearls of Wisdom -- a distillation of some 
of the best content of the posts here.

Welcome aboard!

Barry
