Joe,
I always find your contributions interesting. They are well thought-out,
analytical and appear to be based in fact rather than heresay.
Your historical contributions are a welcome respite to necessary but otherwise
dry discussions on the minutia of modern-day maintenance.
The day you offer-up :-) some info on Sprites, the experience will be complete.
Thanks again for your contributions.
