Hi Leland!
Yeah, I would like to look at it, thanks. Pete Theisen; 2155 Wood Street B
4; Sarasota FL 34237.
My ISP guy, George Emigh of Access Unlimited, says he can get on your site
with his Linux box Just fine. He did tell me that your site has a lot of
Java scripts, so maybe my slow connection just won't support them. He has a
T 1, envy, envy.
Regards,
Pete
