net?
that encryption seems to be pretty moderate though - even the N2002 mips are
already being modified - just think of Frank Amend's online cars.

Yes, I think I missed Tom's devious master plan too <g>

Gavel and Wayne are regulars from "Jacob's NG", which is where all the
people from TEN migrated when they shut down, Tom is less than popular
with a lot of those guys, in general for being Tom :-), but particularly
for what people believe to know happened between him and Tim McArthur
and the whole Sears Point debacle, they just like to remind Tom that
they're still around in cases like this :-)
As Tim and Tom :-) are the only ones that know what *really* happened,
as is common in cases like this, the rest of us are left to speculate
and draw our own conclusions, since I consider Tim McArthur to be a
friend, as well as a member of "The Pits, I'm not handing out prizes for
guessing which side of the fence I'm on :-)
