23 I thought there was two others but didn't know there was a difference
24 class wise.  I thought the other started with 10 something but wasn't
25 sure of the 2nd number since I've never had anything that used it by
26 default.  No idea what the other one starts with but likely won't even
27 run into that either.

29 I been printing a lot.  So far, so good.  I may need a better hole
30 puncher now tho.  lol  Also bought a binder to put this stuff into as
31 well.  It won't take long.  I been accumulating stuff that I need
32 printed for a decade or so.
