[Brian Trout]

Wow!!!

There will be a lot a happy campers if this CD comes to fruition.  I would
spring for the $100 without hesitation.

You've got my vote... well if an associate can vote...  How about I vote
with my checkbook?!!!

Thanks for the ray of hope!

Input.... need input....  (feed me, Seymor, feed me...)  :-)

I await anxiously,
