I really need to tell this to people who'll understand. Most of my friends are not Norton fans.Anyway. Some years back, I moved into an student coop from my apartment, and needed to store some (most) of my books in my brother's basement. He said he had a sub-pump, because the basement sometimes floods. I wasn't happy but there wasn't too much I could do. Recently I went back to get my books -- and discovered the my *beloved nephew* had unplugged the pump to use the socket for his stereo... and never plugged the pump back in. Needless to say, 90% of my books were unsalvagable. Including my Andre Nortons. Including Velvet Shadows. And Wraiths of Time. And most of the Solar Queen series. And Key out of Time. You get the picture. On the upside, I do live near Ann Arbor, and I've found some replacements. The moral of this story? Shell out the $$ and get a cubicle if you have to store your books! Cyndy
