We provide a fully hosted web application to which users subscribe and pay a monthly fee to use. Ours is what we call a unified communications solution which includes an internet portal including email, address book, todo, headlines, and calendar and a voice portal providing each user with their own toll free number for voice or fax and access to much of the same email, address book, todo, and calendar info as the internet portal. It has it's strengths and weaknesses. Infrastructure is a struggle in these tight economic times in the SF Bay Area:) ASP also = Active Server Pages which are a Microsoft server-side scripting and application development technology for web applications. Jamey P.S. I'll try what you suggested with the throttle and primer when I shut down after flying on Saturday Gary. For those that don't know my plane would continue to "chug" along after the mixture was pulled out all the way on shutdown to the point where I'd have to kill it by turning the mags off. Gary suggested pulling the mixture all the way back (which I was doing) and then pushing the throttle all the way forward. If that didn't work well then checking that my primer was sealing okay. Any other suggestions are welcome:) James Courtney AA5B N72T @ KSQL -----Original Message----- From: owner-teamgrumman-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-teamgrumman-list-server@matronics.com]On Behalf Of linn walters Subject: Re: TeamGrumman-List: RE: New SPAM and Virus Filtering Appliance At Matronics... --> TeamGrumman-List message posted by: linn walters James Courtney wrote: >--> TeamGrumman-List message posted by: "James Courtney" > >Clearly this wouldn't be acceptable conversation on GG so this is nice:) > And I agree!

Stuff the 'blowing' end of a CLEAN vacuum cleaner in the intake and seal with a couple of rags. Use a spray bottle with real soapy water to spray all around the intake system. If you don't get bubbles (from the carb to the cylinders) you don't have an intake leak. The other thing is that your mixture control isn't getting the full range of motion and for whatever reason isn't going completely into idle cutoff. Gary's suggestion should point towards that possibility too. It doesn't take much fuel to keep that engine 'running' after shutdown.

Although you might not want to call them this, I would call them performance guarantys. __________________________________ http://sitebuilder.yahoo.com ________________________________ Message 7 _____________________________________ Time: 03:41:24 PM PST US From: ThomasTholmes512@aol.com Subject: Re: [QT]TeamGrumman-List: RE: New SPAM and Virus Filtering Appliance At Matro... MIME_LONG_LINE_QP@matronics.com, NO_REAL_NAME@matronics.com --> TeamGrumman-List message posted by: ThomasTholmes512@aol.com Linn, it is really beat up. I'm feeling better about sorting it out today, but wouldn't turn down a serviceable cowl. Most of the problem area is associated w/a really crummy repair on the right rear, surrounding the latch (which I need four of bye the bye ;-) ) After I slept on it, I think I can sort it out by removing all the old repairs and starting over. Then Fiberglas over the area. thx, Tom I did have the prop balanced at the great Reid Hillview prop balancing and meat burning a month ago. It was really out of whack. I didn't notice anything being particularly bad, but sure noticed the difference when he was thru. An interesting side note: The tail surfaces of the planes running at 2000 rpm for the balancing were shaking and dancing all over the place. I was really surprised at the amplitude of the shaking. It happened on just about every plane there, Tigers, Cheetahs, Travelers, AA1s of all denominations. Any ideas on sources for latches. Fletchair and Airmods NW don't have them. Someone told me that the latches were a Piper part, but I haven't been able to confirm that. ________________________________ Message 8 _____________________________________ Time: 06:27:29 PM PST US From: Aucountry@aol.com Subject: Re: TeamGrumman-List: RE: New SPAM and Virus Filtering Appliance At Matronics...
