LOL. We shall see.

To remind myself to at least think twice I put a pencil eraser on the       end of my Xacto knife.              I've noticed very skilled machinists avoiding old fashioned freehand metal       working like the plague, so I wrote that how-to in case you hesitate to try       it. They left me those jobs, such as laying out and drilling hole patterns       on sand castings.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
