    Hello  Jonathan, Keith, and tonight's bench racers ----   I  regret  I  
cannot  join in on your  racegab  session  this evening ---- was ready on the 
starting line at 8 : 58
 ( Eastern ), but my tired old 'puter wasn't up to this course --- told me 
(when  I
clicked on the Amo ' live chat ' )  that my browser " doesn't  support  Java  
applets "
 ---  whatever that means ---  and sent me on to  " options ", which informed 
 me
that it needed an  UPGRADE  to  5.0  ( ---- is that like another cam w / more 
lift ,
duration ??? )  to handle this  Java  setup ( ? ) , and then quickly informed 
me it
couldn't  handle this needed  upgrade !   So  I'm  back in the pit area now, 
pondering
this SHORTAGE of  electronic  horsepower,  and  more  convinced  than  ever 
that
engines are a whole lot easier to figure out than these " on line  marvels "  
!!!
     Hmmmm --- wonder if my old  W  &  H  Ducoil would fit in that box ? ---- 
 It 
sure did wake up my old  301 "  chev  !     Or  I  wonder if  --------
     SORRY  I  couldn't get in on the session  !!!
