[OPLINTECH] [OPLINLIST] OPLIN Core Changes and the Path Forward

[Chad Neeper via OPLINTECH]

We've come a long way since 300 baud modems, haven't we!
I might take the opportunity to say that's great news and thank you and the
rest of the OPLIN team for all of your hard work.

But, really, it just makes me jealous and sad. So...      :-p

LOL!
Chad
