Well, I was going to replay to this, but it seems that the "Twilight" screen
blanking utility has decided to remain quite blank.  Has anyone else had this
problem?

Anyhow, I can't see what I'm doing, but I got a card from AE about making my
transwarp "22%" faster with a 32K catche upgradce.  (Kind of like their idea to
make ReadyLink nearly functional for $15.)  It also says "Install it yourself
in just minutes!", so I assume that you can install iut yourself in just
minutesl  (I can't wait to see what this looks like.)  Well, I'm off to Reset
Land...
