Oh I wasn't looking for you to solve the problems just that to let you know
that our server is going to take time before I can test LinNeighborhood.
It's just an old junky server I don't know if anything really could fix it.
The Power Supply kinda looks shabby itself.  Don't Worry about it.

Attached is a sheet which is a beta of the version I'm goign to give to my
programming teacher to pass out to a Computer Science AP class, to try to
get more programmers as Mayue suggested, open forum for changes, comments,
suggestions and flames. :)
