Tom, do you know a repair guy named Bo Dixon here in Boston? He works out
of the basemant at New Alliance. He has done a few small things for me that
all work well. I have also heard some mixed reviews though.

Thanks much. I live in the sticks on a horse farm, so will go to the =
big city (about 19 miles) to get one. I'm not sure what a "crossover =
cable" is (multi-purpose?), but I will avoid anything with that name. I =
