I still think of Buffalo as Eta. And I thought the big shoe was kinda quirky. Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Re: What does he mean?

So, R--the return of the big shoe (thanx for the reminder, olly!) would be fine with me. What did you do to change it--edit your preferences? Edited typo. Grr.
