Why do educators hate mailing lists? Part 212!

[Donald Asbridge]

Hi all,

It's been a very great day.  I want to thank all on the list for their  
helpful and supportive feedback and information.  I can tell already  
this is going to be a great group!

Number one on my list, as soon as summer vacation hits here in a few  
weeks, is to purchase the RR that best suits my needs.  I do need to  
spend some time to examine and study which version will best suit my  
needs.  I fell in love with RR using the demo version for only 30  
days... and then I'll hopefully start blasting out some great stuff!

I'm looking forward to communicating with you all in the future...  
maybe even see some of you at the conference next month... maybe even  
learn some more from you!?!

Sincerely,
Don Asbridge
