apologies if you've already mentioned this, Uncle Bill, but what's up with this HI move you've mentioned is coming soon? Is this within Reno or somewhere farther? How long do you expect HI to be offline? And most importantly, are you taking the computer shack with you?
For the benefit of those who may not be aware of it, when Bill sends you "blessings from the computer shack in Reno" he's not speaking metaphorically. There really is a computer shack in his yard, and the fact that he conducts all his computer correspondence from within is ample testimony to his being an extremely tough old dog. The shack is one of those windowless metal tool storage sheds, maybe what, Bill, 6x6x6? Easily heated in winter, I imagine, but on those many summer days when Reno is in the 90s or above, stiflingly hot. Perhaps this was a factor in Uncle Bill's mastering his notably concise style of correspondence, or was it that you read a lot of Hemingway?
