impressive, I have to admit. I like the way you can operate the whole lot
from any of the columns.

sounds good I have power air and occasionally water when it rains hard
I'll have to retrieve my old laptop off the daughter its good enough for
that and I can refresh it on the network when I need to update the files (
having first sacrificed a chicken so 98 will work with an XP network) it
get more like "pimp my ride" working at home I really must stop buying tools
in a 'handy in case something happens' scenario and get some proper work
