I've heard good things about it, but little experience, and likely none in
the future as I've been retired for 11 years now. So I get to play with
the toys I want to play with. :) How is it for lay there like cooked

Amazon, which I do occasionally use, did not exist back then.

I did get, I hope, my problems with ebay/paypal cleared up this morning,
but like breeding elephants, lots of kicking and screaming both to get
their attention and to get the proof (it just works) the next time I try to
buy on ebay. Those folks are a certified PIMA to deal with, they never
make a mistake (it says here). If they never make a mistake, then I've got
that famous bridge, now in Sun City AZ for sale...

Cheers, Gene
