Nice, and fun graphics there. But not the same. \*\* Agreed. It’s a bit, um, lavender-y there, but I got by. I even managed to run through the resident Grump’s thread nekkid! I helped some folks fix computer problems at [www.techsupportforums.com](http://www.techsupportforums.com) and posted a few messages on [www.outpost31.com](http://www.outpost31.com) about my favorite horror movie, _The Thing_.
