[pianotech] New Format

[Terry Beckingham]

My biggest objection to the new format is that it is on the web and if I 
want to post  or reply to a post, it takes two minutes just to get there. I 
doubt that I will be posting or replying very often for the simple reason 
of the time involved getting there. I also don not care for the color 
scheme  of the new format, but I can live with that.
