With the Chip Board having its problems yesterday I waited to post this message. A big thank you to the people keeping TCB going. As a computer geek for 20 years I understand some of the challenges. I appreciate your efforts & know your pain.

A long overdue thank you to Buzz for the Top of the Vine Chip.

To the awesome group at the NE Chip gathering - THANK YOU!! I had a great time and learned so much. My modest collection of 100 chips grew to 150 in a single afternoon! I look forward to seeing many of you in Atlantic City on the 15th.

Last but not least to all the great people on TCB who have answered my newbie questions on the board or thru emails. After some digging around the web site I found lots of documents on the education pages & will be taking advantage of the library. I hope to ask less questions but I know you'll be there to answer them for me.
