BobS: houses from Mexico Judy: I dug one up the other day and don't know what to do with it rich-c: they are a type of ground cover plant for shady areas Dr. D.: "Chairman Bill says, Insert fist-born child magnetic stripe down" BobS: don't ya remeber them from Juarez???????

Ron on Linux: many bells, and real loud james: not as loud for me, but my hearing might be better so it evens out :P DrM: I always enjoyed the articles in Nibbles and Bits!!! rich-c: but Sol Swift never came to an Adamcon, certainly not 2 Dr. D.: The guy was smart no question james: brb, child process is suspended here on my lap Ron on Linux: Think Patricia Herrington was the last to have contact with Sol Judy: we do Dr. D.: Or Tony Patterson...but I last saw him at ADAMcon 6.
