Thought I would report back here to let you all know I have restored
newsgroup capabilities to my laptop.

Been a hell of a year, and newsgroups were of a low pririty to me, Lost my
brother Feb-2008, father-in-law My-2008 and a assortment of friends and
accuainenences. but now I am back.

My name is Steve, I am a ASE Certified Master Mechanic that landed (happily)
in a Subaru Dealer 3 years ago after a 4.5 year stint in Hell (lets call
that "Firestone")
I have just completed 6 weeks of Subaru training, and that means I still
don't know Sh*t, but have the ability to learn. I work in a small dealership
with 3 other Subaru Techs, 2 that are Seinior master techs and 1 that can do
the work, but don't want to do the ase tests.

I will chime in if I feel I have something worth saying.

Good to see you still here Carl.. Is Tegger or Jim Beam still around?

Steve
