[TriLUG] Unisys issue

[Jeremy West]

I should probably clear up a question or two.  Yes I'm new to the list.  I did 
have a first question, but .... I had forgotten to update my reply-to

Sorry about that.  The FIRST message should be released soon.  At least I 
hope.  I contains another good question.
