Well, it turned out that while iceweasal was locked up, spinning forever, it actually did download the pdf every time I clicked on the download button. So I installed okular and opened the downloaded .pdf, and printed it just fine except it did it single sided when I thought I had double-sided checked. Minor detail, I now have a copy in the file cabinet. And the printer is yelling for fresh toner tanks in all 3 colors. I've been putting that off for a while... Reading thru it, I can only find one payout reference that might explain the check I got from them last week. But that math only works for 10 years of no claim status, and in fact it has been sitting there since 1989, getting its quarterly payment either as a payroll deduction, or after I retired, as a EFT from my bank quarterly since. And no claims as I haven't turned the small cancers lifted off my face several times. So it is now in its 26th year of existence. Me goes off scratching head. If, no squawks are heard by spring after I deposit it, I have a place for it and perhaps another kilo$ as I have been looking at a much bigger mill than the toy with the rubber frame that I have. Ball screws and bigger steppers to drive it shouldn't add more than another $1500. And I'll have a grin wider than my face. ;-) Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
