[!! SPAM] Re: [TheForge] Sketchup Help

[Jerry Frost]

Thanks Ben!

This is rapidly becoming a, "be careful what you wish 
for," situation. <grin>

Actually it'll give me something to do on days I don't 
feel like hangin ad bangin in the shop. No lights or 
roll up door yet so it's dark, damp and cool on rainy 
days like today.

Thanks again.
