Anti - I bookmarked it and as I have time during my work day - will go and read on it. Maybe I can answer some of my own questions.

Thanx

LOL! Glad you like it. You sound Iike I used to..eg "Don't have time now, I'll check it out after I GET TO WORK" [8)]

Nice having a job where that is possible izzn't it?

Maybe we should get Ed wi-fi and a laptop so we can chat with him while he's working? Come to think of it, with his post count he's probably already set up...(J/k)

Believe it or not, I don't have a puter hook-up at home. I don't want this all set up at home, or I would never get a thing done. So I come in an hour early in the morning and use that plus lunch hours to do e-mail/forum.

Ed should take a laptop to work - he has way too much fun and should share with the rest of us! Only problem is, he is 3-11 and I for one do the 4am to 8pm day. I would be asleep before he really got going good!''

You are most welcome. Happy to be useful. I get so irritated when I have a question, and some moron replies "try google",..as if the thought never occured to me, and they just can't seem to comprehend that such questions are usually a first step in that direction, to see if anyone may already have been down the same path already, with a site like the one I provided a link to...*sigh"..oh well[|)]
