As of yesterday morning, my client is back up and running.Thanks again to Peter for repairing the tables, and to all of you who volunteered to do so. Also thanks for your backup commentary and suggestions. I am going to forward a couple of these notes to my client, and continue to bug him to do something (anything better than present) to remedy his self-destructive behavior. :-) -- Gee, maybe we need to schedule an Intervention!
On a side note, I have been a part of this community almost since the beginning. (Ed told me once -- 2 or 3 weeks after the start?) This was not the only time I was sitting in a client's office desperate for some help. You all always come through. (Not to mention the infinite number of times I was banging my head on the desk/wall/floor trying to work through some self-inflicted problem.) Thanks, Ed, and all of you. I only hope I have reciprocated enough to make a difference for others, too.
