Hey, that's a great idea! I've got Jacknife here with me at work; think I'll spin it now in SEK's honor! Cheers!

[Stereojack]

It is indeed sad when a "family" such as we are loses a member this way. I can only echo the thoughts that have been expressed by others here.

And thanks, Berigan, for posting the PM's. An appropriate personal rembrance that demonstrates that he was a caring human being.

[Guy Berger]

It's too bad it's only appropriate to have these kinds of threads after someone passes away -- Steve deserved to read this while he was still around.
