I'm with Laurie. Is this computer talk and what you paid for it?

Laurie and Diane,

John must enjoy building his own system. He must be in eternal bliss. I bet the wife takes second place when doing this as well as any thing else. My Dad and brother-in law as well as two OD's I know have made a hobby out of it.

It must be some kind of aphrodisiac for men unlike us women who like our own things. I learned a long time to go not to bother them in this mode.

Are there any Optiboarders who are HAM radio operators? Just curious?

Us girls need to come up with a hobby like this!
