Hi All,

Well, life is finally getting back to normal here. My daughter and her boyfriend left last Saturday, and my son left this morning. As much as we'll miss having them here, it is nice having the house back... :)

First of all, I'm going to have more time to spend on the computers, and will be posting more. I've been seeing my post/call ratio dropping, and need to remedy that. :)

I'm also going to be a little more regular with hatching out files into FSX_IMGE. If your not hooked up to that file echo, you might want to check it out. I had obtained a LOT of wallpaper images that I've been slowly archiving and hatching out. There is a a huge selection, from cars to people to movies
to abstract to, you name it. If you have an area of interest, let me know.
I'm going to try to hatch out 1 every day or two.

Also, the recently discovered Mystic date issue did cause a few hiccups with the hub 4 system. I still had Mystic running the pack/purge on the message bases nightly. It shouldn't have affected any of the net 4 systems, as the
new messages would have been sent out before Mystic did anything to them. However, keep in mind, there will be a problem if you try to rescan the
message bases, as those messages are no longer there. I don't want to try rescanning 1/100, as I don't want to risk sending dupes back into the network.

Let's see, that's about everything I can think of at the moment. My wife
wants to go to the local library now. They sell donated books once a month,
and today they have what they call a bag sale. As many books as you can fit into a paper grocery bag only costs $5... I think we may have enough books,
but my wife thinks we need more#()%@&()!&()%*&@

I'm almost done with my message)!&%$*#(@)!.<... no carrier

Yep... That's what happens when you misspell the filename you're trying to hatch out... I think I might need to put a check for filename into my script
I wrote. Sorry about that everyone.

I was worried there was some binkp error along the way. :)

Nope. You're system is fine. Do not adjust your television set. :)

There may have been a 0 byte file that made it out this morning (my time)
into the net...

I have modified my script, so I hope you wont see any more of these 0 byte files come through. :)
