Reassembly is very carefully noting the steps in taking it apart. You especially should make a scribe mark on both the upper and lower case to ensure you place it back exactly as it was. As for the p
Just curious...I got 12 messages this morning dated in the April 24-26 range, or about 6 weeks old. Had received all of them before. Anyone else? 73 Ed _______________________________________________
