justafreep

Yeah, I'm not making that complaint

12:51 am

justafreep

to that earlier call... I have all the Ps, and there's no pr8. There is a pr7, and I think it SHOULD be able to become an 8, too... but nope.

12:57 am

SueMagee

The other 8 is ab8.

justafreep

thanks, sue. I think I'll look for that tomorrow....
