DARNIT! We'll be down that way in 2 weeks, (we're closer to Cleveland), and we have
"immutable" plans for this weekend. Well, thanks for mentioning it, anyway. I'm sure
our respective "Marys" would get along splendidly. :-)

That pretty well puts the "kibosh" to anything close to 10-cents, doesn't it? :-)
Mine are costing me about $1.50 (for CD-R's) to $3.50 (for RW's), and if that triples,
I'll be more prone to erasing and rewriting the CD-RW's! I hope they've thought of
that. :-)
Best regards, and have a great Show!--Lynn
