Well, thanks, Lou.
As they say, it's hard to teach an old dog new tricks, and perhaps I brushed
off the Companion software too quickly, but you never know. ... Someday, I
may just try it and like it, now that you've enlightened me! (grin)
Happy Thanksgiving to you and everyone else as well.
Will be visiting the son and his family in Missouri, so if I'm a bit more
scarce on the list than usual, it's because e-mail access may be spotty and
unpredictable at times.
