There's no shortage of computers around here. I have two desktops and 
three laptops then there's the better half's computers. I should be able 
to find something around here to cuss at you with if things go south.

It is looking like today is going to be a busy one and I need to back up 
a couple things just in case the worst happens so it might be later 
tonight before I can get back to this problem.

I know, I should stay on top of my backups better 
but......................................
