Dave Hord is OK by me, so I'll cut him some slack . . .

Before we jump on Dave Hord for not instantaneously conjuring these CDs,
lo, even before the "send" button on the e-mail is pressed, let me relate
my experience in purchasing something from him.

He had a tow hitch for a 5K, and I wanted it. We agreed on a price, and I
sent him a USD check (remember, he's in Canada), which he deposited in a
relative's account (his father, I think), and then he sent the hitch.

Or at least that's what I *thought* had happened.

Turns out, his company does business with a company right here in town
(Ormond Beach, FL), and sends a truck from Canada to Ormond Beach a couple
of times a week. He put the hitch onto the truck BEFORE the check even
arrived (let alone cleared), and the instant the check arrived, he e-mailed
me and said "Take a ride over to (company) and pick up your hitch - it's
there." My reply was "How did you send this, on the (****ing) Concorde?"

Anyway, I went over to (company), about three miles from my office, and
picked up my hitch. Also renewed acquaintances with a young lady there I've
known for some years - turns out she's been working there for eight months
now and still has no idea what they make . . . nor is she particularly
interested in finding out!

Dave Hord is OK in my book. He's promised me three copies of the CD, and
I'm sure he WILL do them and WILL send them, and I'm willing to wait for him.

Best Regards,
