I stand corrected, John -- since my husband builds computers & I run
'em, we have a nasty tendency to speak a personal form of computer
shorthand around here. Can't pass on the chance to be a teensy bit picky
myself -- translating your use of "ISP" into Internet Service Provider,
for any who might wonder.
Your mention of having iris in BLOOM when you got home to CA makes me
want to shriek with envy. The most exciting thing around our place is
that we got our grey-water septic lift pump, nonfunctional since just
before Christmas, thawed out & working again today. The odor wafting
thru our doors has not been that of flowers lately...
