[MDairheads] questionnaire about SuperTech 2019

[Jim McKinna]

Thanks Bill,

> "where do I sign up"

I get around on different email clients pretty well as of now.  However there is always something to learn, especially from such a wizard as yourself.

To add to the web browser curriculum, using RealOEM to find parts that match all years for a particular part.

I did a BaseCamp discussion a few years ago I was sure very few people would be interested in since most tell me they prefer paper maps.  Boy was I surprised at the turnout!  Be encouraged.  You may get a room full of people.
