Trisha,
He does that just to make us feel uneducated I think. I know just
enough about this computer to understand a little of what Brian said,
But Not All Of It!!
By the way, I just picked up 2 cases of soda for the event cache on July
10th. I've been watching and it looks like we will have a nice turn out.
Maybe Brian can help me through some more computernees.
