Brent: Do I remember you?  Well, only if I look your name up in the data base
and read my annotations.  Sure, you're 1 out of 20,000 but since I annotate
files in real time, I can usually pick up where I left off.

New kid ... WAY TO GO BRENT!!!  Congratulations.

Glad to hear that your Multiplan is working; and your machines, and other toys.
Yes, from time to time one of a "thing" will go out of here defective, but not
twice in a row.  Hey... it's only technology and there ain't no magic in this
stuff... so do go around spooking folks with this, "Well, it didn't work in OH
but to do work in MA.  Golly gee... it's like magic and weird."  We get enough
folks like that coming from elsewhere to end up in CA, so hey, cut it out.
(grin)  Yes, please return the extra copy.

Yes, sir... the 1993 catalog is being mailed starting next week.  As you can
guess, with over 20,000 members world wide, and at a cost of about 50 cents a
copy, I've spent a wee bit over $10,000 this month on printing and postage.
I'm mailing to all those who did business with me in 1993, first.  Then I'll do
the 92 folks, then some selective Canada and foreign folks, as well as a few
other selective groups, then do a post card inquirery to those that last
contacted me in 1991, but then, nothing.  I call it a planned roll out.  It's
intended to help pay for the catalog as it rolls out.

FYI: The catalog is actually called, "The Second Decade (1993-2003)."  I do not
plan to send catalogs out every year so this is a ten year catalog.  What's in
the catalog is carved in stone unless I say otherwise.  My next project for the
club is to finalize the first edition of the detail sheet list.

Now that you're all settled in, again, let's see some REALLY DETAILED STUFF on
HAM use of the Model 100.

Thanks... -Rick-
