At the time I bought "DR LINUX" I didn't even own a car.
I gave the plate as a gift to Michael Anderson.
I finally bought half of my wife's car a few years ago,

Thanks for pointers Diane.
Indeed Zimbra has calendaring, and it is an important feature. I use it
because when I was using a google calendar I seemed to get emails related
to my calendar content. Since medical appointments get put on calendars,

I think Alayne has a point about requiring NCF membership, but I think a
