Steve:
You are going to get me to stop in there on 3976 one way or the other aren't
you? (grin)
Actually, it makes me feel good to know that you guys want an old crotchety
college professor like me in the group.
The only time I can do it now is on the week-end, and next week-end is
already filling up with a possible trip to Lansing for an EC meeting on
Saturday, and another obligation on Sunday.
But, I promise, I'll try, because I'd really like to hear what a 480 sounds
like.
