John,

Thanks for the info re the Radio Shack amplifier. Actually, I'm going to
see if anyone wants to swap one of these amps for an old 33 MHz PCs.

I tried IMing you on AIM, but you weren't around. How do you deal with the
lack of word labels in AIM? For instance, after I typed in your name in
the IM edit box and tabbed, all my screen reader said was "custom
control". None of the controls or buttons in the IM  dialog box are
labeled. Do you have Yahoo Instant Messenger? (with Yahoo IM the recipient
doesn't have to be online when the sender sends the IM.) In either case,
I'd like to voice chat with you; I have some follow up questions.

Thanks,
Dan
