Thanks Kevin,
It's good to know I can count on your support. I only desire their
services merely so that I can leave referrer links to the NEWLY revised
Tedrico's Page that's in the making and will be hosted under a new ISP.
Speaking of website revisions, have you finished revising your website
and launched it's comeback yet?
