Re: COMMON

[Don <dr2@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Jeff,

I'm well aware that Common is running on a 720...  That wasn't my point.
My point was that you don't mention the 400 on the webber...at least not
that I've found ... but then, you're right, I do need my polyfocals
fixed..

BTW, the new web page formats are nice! :)

So, what page was it on?? :)

...conference schedule agenda and bio's don't count...:)
