Video Jukebox

[Ed Duffy]

Many thanks Roger! Never expected to see this again.

I have 9 invites available for thebox, so Roger plus the first eight
regulars to email me off list can have 'em ... provided you promise to
play nicely when you get there. ;-)

But please note that I'll be offline till late tomorrow/early Monday.

Eddie.
