Exactly.  With the way my hands are now, typing is difficult let alone
trying to use a sharp knife safely.

It disappoints me that I can't run Scrabble.  If I could get the source, I
could make sure it doesn't die in 2038 (when DOS programs will quit
working).

Mine was 109 which is terrific for me.

Today was near 80 but rainy and 52 tomorrow...a cold and rainy weekend.  I
goofed off a bit today going to Lowe's and Home Depot to look at potting
soil and planters.  Still a tad early to be putting anything out here so
I'll start everything indoors.  My mom gave me a desktop Ott Lite to use as
a growing lamp; I need to buy the correct bulb for it.

By the way, Greg Mayman has been calling the BBS but hasn't uploaded any
packets yet.
