Roy,

Is it possible to send a check for Molly's benefit yet. Never used the
internet for credit card, don't know how and really would rather not. A check
could go anywhere.
Tried to E-mail you, but not possible.

> Did you get those models shipped yet?

.... Long, stupid story (stupid on my part...).. I put them in the
trunk of my car along with two packs of radiography badges to take to
the post office... and FORGOT they were there!!!! My secretary asked me
on the 27th of Sept what I had done with those three things and I
couldn't believe how stupid I was to let that drift... So in a panic I
rushed down to the parking lot and pulled the plastic bag with all three
boxes out of the trunk ( being baked in the sun...). The good news is
that the wax bite of the models is OK... it wasn't even warm. The bad
news is that since that date, I haven't had a break during working hours
to take the dammnnn things to the post office... I'd ask my secretary to
do it but she is just about to give birth.. in fact she is on leave
starting next week. I will send it on Saturday when my little guy is in
his swimming lessons.

This month has been pure hell on my organizational faculties... no real
excuse, but there it is... It'll get done. This is why I've been so
quiet on the SMD... late nights are no time to be on the iBook. Plus, I
don't make much sense either in spoken or written form when I'm sleep
deprived..

Sorry Roy... It definately wasn't intentional.. :-(

Thanks,
You should feel lucky, my entire year has been like that.

.... Uh Huh... 'Round here, it's as if there are days that I shudder to
stick my head out the door or into the clinic, for fear of who or what
is commin' down from the sky to chop it off... I encourage myself in
that at least the next time I see the same bullsh***t, I'll be less
upset, having seen the thing before... The next hassle is with ServiDent
(local Ash Temple) who want me to pay 5000$ for a handpiece for a
LaserSmile (Biolase IR Laser) that I decided not to buy after trying it
for a month. I'm tellin' ya, those guys have put a few points on my
blood pressure.
This last came down by fax yesterday... I'm gonna bitch at 'em to change
that for an air abrasion system or a cheap digital Rays system...
Cheeahs and keep pluggin'

I think I understand what you mean: If I want to get onto the Web
(rare)
I need to put my account and internet profile straight so that
Sympatico
will recognize it. (Yes?/No?)

Well, my Crapintosh's news server permits me to create a bogus addy as
I've done here and that's what you see. If you're a real pointy-head,
you can ferret out what my addy really is, but most spammers don't go
that far (I hope..... for I remember what you said about Sympatico's
all-too-easy-to-intercept main addys).

What ever you do, don't let your kids marry Wongs.... A name like Pamela
Wong-Brown would be murder on the Spam side..

Thanks for the explanation... You've said it clearer than the guys on
the help side of Sympatico... As soon as they hear that I'm on the
Crapintosh, they panic....

Incidentally, I can do the same thing with the OS of the Crapintosh and
it will work fine, unless I have to send info on a (hopefully) secure
page, such as when I finally do get around to posting my Laser for sale
on eBay. That is what is going to be the next project.

>If it is colour and will print 11x17, you might have a buyer here.

But Ray.... it's a DENTAL laser, not a printer... although at this point
I'd say a laser printer would be more useful...

Thanks
