Ernie, 

I don't know how long you have been on the LUG, but this is sort of a
semi-annual event. If you read the originating post, it said "it's about
time for another..." or something close to that. Anyway, this sort of gets
everyone acquainted with everyone else's equipment, which can sometimes
help understand their posts. I have a mailbox called "roll call" where I
keep all of this stuff. It's interesting to puruse the kind of equipment on
the LUG. There is some very interesting hardware out there.

Actually, Mr. Brown was correct... it's a mine is bigger than yours
contest!!! ;-) ;-) ;-) Really kidding!
