Just a reminder, but on the newtontalk.net home page, there is a link to the
searchable archive... Now, if that's not a priceless bit of Newton treasure,
I don't know what is! I think this little bit is not as utilized as it
should be. I noticed that you even referenced your post in it. When I was
hiatus from NTLK this past fall, I often utilized the archive for news,
information and help (ok, and to also keep up with latest Poutine thread and
Woo/Ferdi saga--ok, I'm joking) ;-) but seriously, one should not
overlook/forget the archives of this list... It's a real treasure. There is
also a FAQ linked from that page, and on many other Newton resources around
the net. All of this works together with this list as the hub. It's a nice
arrangement, honestly...
