John:

It's funny what you say about someone using your power poles and possibly
getting in trouble, since you don't worry about colors to begin with.

I thought of that when one of our club members soldered a bunch of them up
for me, and I think I agree with the color scheme of the sighted world.  HI!
HI!

But, if I ever have to make up my own, and sighted assistance isn't around,
I guess I'll just do what I need to do, and not worry about others.  HI!
HI!

Good luck with your computer woes, and hopefully you can get that portable
HF station going anyway.
