[Xastir] New toy, but doesn't work yet.....

[Kurt A. Freiberger]

The percussive impact y'all have probably just heard is the sound of a 
hand hitting a forehead.  I've been looking at that for an hour, and 
never saw it.  We're up!!!

I'll have to take it to the car later and drive around.  This will be so 
great!

Thanks very much!!!!!

Kurt
