Sorry to hear about your computer troubles, Jim... perhaps a working
computer can be pieced together, like Frankenstein's monster, from the
pieces of "Lori" and "Onyx", to supplement the one that you've received
from your brother.
I'm also looking forward to seeing reports from you, more often, now
that you're getting a handle on your troubles, computer and
otherwise... I need not mention the glee of seeing more art, of
course. *grin*
