Jess: Have I just been called a huge stroke? Oh well. If using AOL and going to the scuba chat room is the most stroke-like thing I do in life, then I'm not doing too badly. If it's the most stroke-like thing that someone on this list can accuse me of, then again, I'm not doing too badly. (Please, that's NOT a challenge!!!) Take care, JS p.s. If I can ever live down the infamy of being called a huge stroke, maybe we'll dive together some day.

I see no reason to change. It's a means to an end. That's all. -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
