Donald Peirce said… - Sorry Roy,
These Computer thingies sometimes leave me wondering if I was born 30 years too late? Or, Thirty years too soon. Your background in Radiology is of interest. I was UDT 3 @ Crossroads. Always wondered why pubic hair turned curly.
Sorry about the time it has taken me to respond. Trying to understand a Microwave toast setting. All produce BURNT. Mom always said burnt toast would~~~~~*
