Ouch! there is that headache again.
Considering I have almost no clue what you just said.
I am just sittting here nodding my head saying, "ok" with that really,
really stupid expression on my face.
SO if i take the MP, PDQ, and ask for an IRQ, so that the IO is FAST,
then I can put the TABS in the H20 and get a PLOP and PLOP and FIZZ
FIZZ from the ASZ.
Do I have that right.
Maybe someday this headache will go away.
