Carl,
>>I don't know quite what I'm going to do after being off for
7 weeks. <<
So that's why you've had enough time to fill up the wiki :>
Sorry to hear about the layoff -- I had no idea. But FWIW, the last time that happened to me, it was the best gift they could have given me. Let me get into the style of free-lance consulting I've been doing for 8 years now.
Best wishes,
