Sorry to hear of your accident, Cabbott !  I hope this TC really works well
for you considering the unexpected cost.  My Dad lost half his ring finger,
and it slowed down his computer programming until he relearned typing.  You
will be up to speed soon enough.  In the meantime, get some good drugs, heal
up and be careful.  Coiling can be dangerous in many ways, and I am very
glad you are still with us !!

Will
