DLG is nice, but it's too damned expensive.

Al has said that CBM is at least talking to him now.

I wouldn't be able to tell you. I don't reside in the same state, but
I will ask Al next time we log in to drop off the latest version of

| Oh, sure.  Naturally, that discounts the "Beer Capitol of the

Thats true. Wish I was rich so I could offer some capital.
