[TheForge] copper arch

Thu May 2 11:41:00 2002

        Thanks Bruce,  I see by my note it indicated I was going to mix
them.  I was going to try each one seperate actually.   I learned not to mix
things when I was six years old playing chemist trying to help with house
cleaning - mixed bleach and ammonia.......that was an experience.  Mom
wasn't to happy that day with my efforts.  :-)
