Ok.

Yes.

You mean you didn't see them at all on your system?

Yes, we'll have to keep our eye on it. So far I can't see anything that gives
me much information. Maybe Ross can help here (only because I know he's good at
reading seen-bys <g>), I'll check it out with him.

Ok, understand :)

I'll check out what's around, I do have a feeling Binghamton will be most
people's choice as well.

Will do :)
