Sean,

  Of all the things I've lost...I miss my mind the most. <G>

  Good for you. I can relate to the joke where one thinks they're going
blind. Every time I look into my wallet, the money I put in there is
gone. :P

SD>... I haven't lost my mind; it's backed up on tape somewhere!

  I used to have a Colorado Tape Drive years ago.
