[NTLK] Adding battery tray to eMate

[Doctor Clu]

Hi all,

No answer?  Hmmm.

A couple of questions this morning:

1) Do you see this message?   Seems often I write but I don't hear an 
answer or see a response to things written.

2) How can I post to NewtonTalk and not have my name show up as "Patrick 
Ketelaar"

That's it, checking the communication here.  Thanks,

Greg / Doc Clu
