<br>IMO, there are very few people who I would do that for... if my<br>parents asked me to do this, I would ask them if they were willing<br>to learn.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Nov 16, 2008 at 10:48 AM, Yan Seiner <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:yan@seiner.com">yan@seiner.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Now they want to know if they can have myth...<br>

We're 3,000 miles apart, so no weekend visits to fix things. I'm a bit<br>

Should I even attempt this? Or should I run? Suggestions?<br>
