[Xastir] how do I?

[Gerry Creager N5JXS]

You might, but I had to clean out the garage, or go live in it, 
recently.  So I'm getting to buy new boxes, even if they ARE EMachines, 
for justifiable projects.  For a while, 'til I retire the current set 
around the house.  Let's just say the plan worked for emptying the 
garage, but it's not helped the bank account... and I'm still in the 
doghouse!
