too much information, running through my head.

[Joseph Garrett]

Larry,
If the "digest" were a true form of a "DIGEST", it would be compiled and
refined by a human. I suspect that it is, in fact, just some woosie program,
that someone through together and never bothered to improve. Hence, I am now
WADING through ALL of the B.S. on the regular pianotech! Still wish the
digest was a true digest. :-)
Regards,
Joe Garrett
P.S. Another foible is that, in order to reply to the subject matter, at
hand, one must include the previous post. Unless, of course, one is
proficient in computer stuff, which I aint!
