Mike,
I don't blame Larry, it was just frustrating with the waiting times. Glad to
hear he made the right move.....

Sun Frost's lead times are down to around a month. In retrospect, it was
probably a good idea for our community here and individual job security that
Larry wasn't able to over-ramp for Y2K buy-mania.

Larry was advertising in the local paper for help for the last several
months, and just recently took his ad out of the paper. I know that he was
hurtin' and trying to find help for a long time.
