This sounds like a good idea, at my house we have a cd burner and we all could put together something about type 3's gcv@kreative.net http://www.kreative.net/mimbly/grant 69 fastback -----Original Message----- From: Boyd Drew <Boyd_Drew@notes.teradyne.com> To: type-3@umich.edu <type-3@umich.edu> Date: Wednesday, April 01, 1998 2:23 PM Subject: Need your help >This was listed in the aircooled vw newsgroup. sounds like a good idea to me > >Boyd Drew > > >---------------------- Forwarded by Boyd Drew/Bos/Teradyne on 04/01/98 02:06 PM >--------------------------- > > >"Robert K.
