Duuuude it was the 70's ... there was no math then. 
One of the Sales Ladies here at work apparently saw two Robins in her back yard this weekend... a good sign indeed

Unless one of the more experienced wheel guys or gals on here has a reason why not then I'd say yes, please! I did a little looking online and the general consensus seems to be that they are about the same - although either company will probably tell you otherwise. 
What shop do you work at? Proximity is somewhat important here.

****, thanks fellas... i just got back to the computer.
i think i'll be ok for now, i realized that i'm also missing a rim (hahaha, i'm a mess!!!) so i don't need the spokes as badly but i may need to get some over the weekend - if that's the case i'll give one of you guys a shout!
thanks again...

Can you buy spoke "blanks" or do you just buy the longest ones available?

Here's why I'm a total idiot: I bought a rim off craigslist a couple of months ago to build with - the guy was selling it because he bought it thinking he needed a 36 but really needed a 32. No problem, right? I've got a 36h hub at home, right? Wrong... So now I've got this 36h rim I've got to get rid of and I've got to grab a 32.
What's worse is not only that I bought it from a guy who did the same thing but I've done it before, as you'll well remember, Keith.
God, some days I just wish that my brain worked the way it once did - I think I get dumber as the days go by.
Flimflam - yep, I figured it was you and for a second I forgot it was St. Patties and I was like "uhhhhh, why's he wearing that hat?!?!?!" Then I remembered and all in the universe was as it should be.

any of you itunes users have any insight as to why i can't read some of the text in the set up page for my ipod? specifically the text cuts off and there is no scroll bar on the bottom to read it...
edit: never mind, i figured it out!
