Dear list friends:

I am now 78, and have been waiting for over twenty years for Daniel 12:4
"...and knowledge shall be increased." to come to pass; until very recently
I had to send Hebrew and Greek characters to America from Australia in the
form of graphics which was an absolute chore.  Thanks to Windows 2000 I can
now type it in an ordinary sentence and it can be received in unicode,
providing of course, that the receiver has kept abreast of the times and is
not using a bullock cart when a much faster and easier means of transport is
freely available.

I completely concur with Jonathan D. Safren's statement below.

Regards to everybody:

Bernie J. Coombs. Author of "All creatures do go to Heaven" proven from the
pure Scriptures with no bias.
