Never received a reply to my e-mail but noticed within a few hours it was listed as Sold on the web site. FWIW, a general comment on email these days. Anyone who has a fairly well spread valid email address (i.e., numerous postings on r.a.s and web sites, etc.) currently receive anywhere from hundreds to thousands of spam messages, bounce messages from virus emails with spoofed from addresses, etc. My spam filter software probably incorrectly marks less than 1 percent of good email as junk, but that still amounts to several emails a week going into the junk folder that shouldn't be there. Sometimes I go through the folder looking for such messages, sometimes I just don't have the time or patience. Also be aware that some ISPs are now quietly blocking emails from other ISPs, to "protect" their customers from spam. I can no longer communicate via email with a partner in one of my gliders, as his ISP has decided to block a whole range of IP addresses, which happens to include mine. If you send an email to someone expecting a reply, and don't get one in a day or two, send another. Or better yes, use the phone... Marc |

I'm sure his not responding was because of a spam filter, Dick is always
very responsive and extremely patient with his customers. He spent much time with me when I had problems figuring out my iPAQ. Let's not be so quick to trash the good name of our truly good vendors! -- Gary Boggs 3650 Airport Dr. Hood River, Oregon, USA 97031-9613 "Marc Ramsey" wrote in message . com...
