[AT] OT

[Richard Fink Sr]

Thanks DAN the guy that has worked on my putters for years now will know 
that.It is a HP about 10 years old and if i can get working for 2-3 hundred 
that is cheaper than new one. And i still don,t like change
The quote about 8 and cell phones don,t have one and don,t like them.
