Re:Suggestions on heater for garage/shop

Mickey, I think it is pretty obvious that you do not get on to the net very often. Last time I checked this was the Informix User Group, and the only heating we saw was when we discussed whether we should allow non-technical, non-Informix messages on this user group !! Hey guys, maybe we need a comp.info(rmix).heater.garage ??? Any volunteers ??
