[Rhodes22-list] Fwd: Rhoades 22

[Richard Beytagh]

I am asking any Rhodies out there if they have experienced this issue and
what is the recommended course of action to fix this.

All suggestions will be welcome.

I will look into this and get back to you. I have just returned from the
Bahamas so I am just trying to get organised. This is not good and I will
contact the user group to see what is the best course of action. I will
copy you in on the discussion.
