IJMC The Final From Hell

                      IJMC - The Final From Hell

I am almost certain that this is a rerun for the IJMC. But I can't find 
it anywhere in the archives so I'm sending it anyway. Hopefully most of 
you haven't seen it yet. Also, if anyone passes it, see me for a job. I 
don't know how I'll pay you but I know I couldn't afford not to!  -dave
