If he has a problem, he puts up with it for a year. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I refused to service for the lock-up several times, but a good friend who does social work inside the walls persuaded me to put up with the nusiance.  It really isn't much bother once you get into the routine.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Dave</DIV></FONT></BODY></HTML>
