   And yet, I would *still* forget to reset it last month while I was
setting up a new V890 until juuuust after each time I hit the return key
on the `init 6` command, and then I'd have to go for a cup of
coffee...in another town. I drank a *lot* of coffee before I finally
changed the OBP option.
   Heck, I had even moved the sticker up to eye level on the front of
the rack, stuck to some blanking panels. *sigh* You know, I wish I
learned faster. :7(
