(You may wish to capitalize : >when actually saying it though; bad grammar looks unprofessional.) : > : Also it should read: "See? There are other people like I." : You forgot an obhack. : Obhack: : I haven't done much lately, but I guess I can relate my experiences last : week installing a _very_ nice scanner at the NC Japan Center here. : Unfortunately, when I showed up to install the scanner, I find out that Are you mixing tenses?
