These are articles I typed up last year ('98) for David Stumpf's
    Telegard Newsletter.  But due to other things David can not
    continue the newsletter.  At this time (12/99) there is another
    person who might take it over.  I wanted to hatch this out to
    get it out there to help folks.

    I did not spell check or format the texts as I did them quickly
    last year (x-mas holidays).  David was going to do both of those
    things but guess he never did.

    Some of the articles were to be added to by David and others
    but again I guess that fell on the side.
