Mugsy's FAQ

©2002 Mugsy Lunsford, MacGeek of DogTown
Yes folks, instead of actual content here in DogTown, we have lists.

This section should contain answers to questions about who I am
and what I do, but change is the only constant,
and the answers to those questions are no longer clear.

Ok, they've always been murky, bear with me on this.

Suffice it to say that I'm Mugsy, and I fix things.

Here are some questions that I hear fairly often,
but I thought that calling them FHQs would just confuse people.

If anyone has the answers to these, please send 'em to me.
