Ha - but at least out Epson printers still work well, even the elder 
ones.

Actually I was not objecting to being called "elder" by Tyler so much 
as "statesman" and that was not because I think statesmanship is not 
all that it once was (though that may well be the case).  My intent 
was to question the designation of a social clutz like myself, who has 
been called by friends "often overly straightforward,"  as a statesman 
of any sort. :-) Maybe now that I'm no longer an engineer I can pick 
up some of them there social graces in my spare time. ..nah...
