- I just spoke to the tech support guy at Texel, and he says he already has a
- fix. He said it would be available next week, but I reminded him that there
- was some holiday or other during that period, so he amended that to the week
- after. The number for Texel is 1-800-886-3935. I'll let you know how it works
- out.
