Reply to Happy Birthday to Frank Robinson in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Bash2Cool - You really wouldn't like any word I would use re. the Yanks. Fairyy~ I have to give credit where it's due. Note that the stats are surrounded by quotation marks. I just did a cut & paste from the article at the link- a sample of what Frank Robinson did in part of his career. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/wc/smiles/Tongue.gif" b
