Hi Earl & All - Well here goes one more parting shot:

Just think how much fun the last 40 or so years has been.  We've come all the
way from vacuum tube sized stuff that a gorilla could work on with success,
down to stuff we couldn't even dream of at that time.  The functional density
of electronics must have increased by 100,000 fold over that time period.

But we've still got some of the same old problems, like "GET RID OF THE HEAT,
QUICK BEFORE IT SMOKES!!!".

Have a good day all - Kelly

PS/ Let's start nagging Hugo about the confirmation messages again - the
system appears bogged down today - it takes about an hour just to get a
request for confirmation.  ARE YOU LISTENING HUGO???
