[C320-list] Web Forum ?

[Karl Mielenhausen _/)]

Excellent observations Chris.

I might add, for the benefit of newer list members, that past discussions  
on the list have been archived and may be searched here....

There is a wealth of past information there that might be useful in  
checking when a C320 question crosses your mind.
