The 350v63 is actually my favorite RIC guitar which I do not own yet. I noticed in your profile you're in IT. Me too.

Well there you go!

I'm a senior consultant with a 'solutions provider'. We market our own distribution, accounting and service packages. I do a lot of customization consulting and programming as well as integration with 3rd party applications. I'm also the 'main man' when it comes to data conversions from other systems to ours as well as designing and writing the code for various data import and export 'engines'. We were Unix based but nowadays it's all running on Linux or Windows through a couple of database management systems.

We also are an ISP and do web design and E-commerce design and integration with our packages.

I'm confused, Paul (as I often am these days) - 'Eyetalian?'.

My lovely little lady is Italian (from a small village in Abruzzo called 'Casoli').

Now I'm confused, Howard, "schmuck?". That is not an Eyetalian word!

Actually, Paul, It's Greek for 'We won the Eurovision Song Contest with the crappiest piece of junk ever written and performed!!".

In comparison it puts Bucks Fizz up with the Beatles!!

'Dumb schmuck' is commonly used in programming, Paul. Consider:

if not(num(var1)) and not(num(var2)) then
dumb_schmuck = 1
end else
dumb_schmuck = 0
end
if dumb_schmuck then
stop "YOU ARE A DUMB SCHMUCK"
end else
var3 = (var1 / var2) "2"
end

I called Truetone Music and inquired about the unusual blue 330 and the sales person said it was midnight blue however, he said it looked different than the other midnight blue (620). To me it looked like a completely different color.

Hmmmmm..... a 'different' midnight blue. Novel, to say the least. Is it new, Dan?

Dan: What was the year of the Model 330 blue that you saw?
