[AT] another adventure

[charlie hill]

What was that country song?  Something about "ain't no way to have too much 
fun".   Cecil, you might  have found a way to break that rule.  LOL.   I'd 
love to play with that puppy a while myself.
Don't worry about being able to run it.  You are going to find that the 
hardest thing to get used to is how EASY it operates.  The soft touch it 
takes to run the joy sticks is not going to allow for much body english but 
in a few minutes you'll settle into that comfy seat and Lucille will have to 
pry you out of it at supper time.

Have fun!

Charlie
