RE: Date field's and their file space usage.

["Guy Henza" <guyhenza@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

My father was a carpenter, he told me not to go into the business.  "Too 
much bull work."  He had to have joint replacement surgery on both hips, 
knees and shoulders.

I've got a friend that is a welder.  His retinas are almost burned out...

I think I'll stick with programming.
