Palm Nailers (again)

[Fenton Murray]

Dave,
The fact that everyone has had a good experience but me with these just 
proves once again that I know how to make a simple thing very difficult, 
expensive, and non-productive. Now, if you need help with any of that, like 
maybe to run up someone's bill, I'm your man.
