OK Folks,

Here's the "skinny". I apparently ordered TM-9-2320-362-14& P from Mildocs
when I subscribed and forgot about it!! Not uncommon for me.

My machine had Acrobat 4 in it and the CD was Acrobat 6. My son installed
the "6" for me and walah, I have that ETM. It has about 400 pages. It's a
TM for the HMMWV.

My first impulse was to check the tubes in the computer but my son said
that's probably not a problem these days.

Thanks to all the literate folks who took the time to explain how to use a
computer....
