i luv this kind of information - bookmarked it too.

question though - does anyone know of a general fabric guide that would include help and guidance in removing what seems to be yellowing because of aging ?

thanks !

Has anyone else had trouble loading this? I've been trying for days and get a 'reset' message every time.

It loaded promptly for me when I clicked on that link. Sorry you are having a problem with it.

Actually, it won't load for me today either, although it did the other day. I wonder if their ISP was a part of the huge server that crashed last week.

Hmmm ... I clicked on it before I posted above and just now and it loaded right both times. I wonder what is happening.

It won't load in firefox, will load with IE.
