OK I don't get it. When I search for a 2077 I get some online game. Now it makes sense that thats a time sink but generally nothing that will break a tooth.

Ed, I can't remember where I ran across it, but a fellow preached a principle he called The Conservation of Bustedness. He posited that you can't have everything working all at once: if you fix the counter, the generator breaks; if you fix the generator, the dishwasher goes on the fritz; fix the dishwasher, and the car won't start - you get the picture... ;-) 73, geo - n4ua On Mon, Sep 9, 2013 at 4:41 PM, Ed Palmer ed_pal...@sasktel.net wrote: It could have been from grinding my teeth in frustration at buying a dead unit! :) My money's on the 'bad luck comes in threes' legend.
