Jim Your above remark, to me, "suggests" that you are saying that I have not discharged my obligations to Ben. I cannot say I am too pleased with this situation having informed Ben that I do not have a MAC and have never seen MACPIC. It seems to me that having informed Ben of this position *before* he purchased a warp-13 I have in fact exceeded what was required of me. Now before I go and over react perhaps you might want to help me out so I can be sure I have it right. Having worked so hard at being a "good little piclist boy" lately, and God (oops!) knows we need more of them, I wouldn't want to blow it on a misunderstanding...
