  To my surprise texter3 is still alive, the first fish in this pond was 
  caught on 08-24-07, so I assume there is about 3 years of data locked in this
  amber.

  Yet more surprising part was to see a box with status - alive and  DOB : 02-05-10
  Truly proud to have written long surviving dirty little rats when I was young :)

  A great credit goes to (8bits)host for freely running it so far.
