RE: libretto mininotebooks and jfw

[Krajczar Tech Center, Damon Fibraio]

I have emailed HJ about this and am waiting for a response. If anybody
wants to find out the resolution, I will post it to the list for archival's
sake. I suspected that Deborah's solution was the case due to its screwy
floppy interface, but nobody here agreed with me. I guess I got them again.
