this is highly amusing...ask a question about ham radio and you get maybe 4 
responses over a two or 3 day period...ask a simple question about a 
computer and you get 20 plus responses in 2 hours...not complaining, just 
observing the irony.  I know you asked for it to be off list  Tom and 
everyone responded on list which is cool with me, it's just kind of funny.
