[MM-MALTS-L] List Administrator Query

[Serge Valentin]

Hi Paul, hope you're doing fine!

I remember discussions about the GF 104 too, not too sure whether it  
predated the 105 or not. Anyway, I got a sample courtesy a good friend  
in the US (and listmember too if my (what again?) serves me well) so  
I'll dig deeper when I'll try it. George Grant posted something about  
all this somewhere... where again? Facebook? Twitter? Malts-L? MM?  
Geeee...

Best

Serge
