Subj: REPLY TO MSG #6066 (IS MY PDD2 DYING?!)

Thanks once again, Rick.
 
I am encouraged by your thinking it's the stepper motor, too. Funny, it 
_feels_ free enough, but then you never know. I'll pick up some of that oil  
and grease at a local hobby shop and let you know how it goes.
 
Know what you mean about taking it slow. These things are scary... seems  
everything sorta hangs there as you work on it, and various assemblies want to
flop here and there with no easy way to encourage them all to behave and go  
back where they belong.
 
Does _your_ low-battery LED flicker on for a moment when you power up? Mine  
won't do that anymore. But it does light up for other functions, so I know  
it's not burnt out. Maybe it'll work when other things are again working. 
 
Just to connect a little: I'm the guy whose neighbor from Madison, WI looked  
you up at Annie's... he was in your town seeing his daughter. Remember Ernie?  
You had far-ranging discussions on art and such.
 
Also, I'm the guy who got some money back from a nefarious modem seller who  
was hawking stuff on-line but not mailing out the merchandise.
 
Been a while since I've been active here. I don't need any files from your  
library (well, I take that back, I may if some of my disks are bad) so I had  
let my library access lapse. But I'd like to send in my $12 anyway just to  
show moral support for the overall service you provide. 
 
"The check is in the mail!"
 
Regards,
 
... Paul
