Great post; Mike!

Enjoyed every word of it!

One thing really hits home though,and I hope it dosen't appear to cheapen your experiences, but, one thing you stated really hits the target!!

Perhaps we should always start with something like....

"Hi, Mr(or Ms or Miss or Mrs)Newie! Welcome! and watch out for the washers....."

Cause YEAH, standing on a chair balancing an inverted M3 about half an inch from the fragile plastic glare shield of our new wide screen, really, REALLY, jogged my memory!!
