- Kathi, I just downloaded a message packet (after 56 hours without power)
- and found a copy of this in it. It will show you what it looks like, and
- at least confirm that it's out there! I have 2 different internet
- addresses now, and this is probably the one I'll end up using, but for
- the time being, either will get to me.
