Hello All,
So it turns out I lack a baboon friendly environment on my foxpro,
and getting it is like pulling teeth. After speaking with Karl, it
seems it may be best to wait and have Tabby run it using her baboon
friendly foxpro next week when she gets back in. Tabby does this sound
reasonable? Sorry to everyone for holding up this phase... I'm just
beginning to think my whole computer is becoming very un-baboon friendly.
Have a good afternoon,
Cheers,
Lacey
