If it works don't fix it..    B)

Another thing, before I came along, the Township had all their computer
work done remotely, software repairs and updates, by the 300 baud modem,
which took forever, but I suppose they paid by the hour so the other end

A year later I walked into the office one day (I worked from home, not
