Well, I don't work as hard as you might think, Jonathan. By now, all I really have to do is copy and paste a lot of standard stuff from pre-existing files into new ones. And then I have the peace of mind that comes with (a) knowing I have a workable set of tools in place and (b) not having to deal with different methods of accomplishing the same thing from one installation to the next. As is often the case, investing several hours in the early stages can save you critical minutes come crunch time. = = = = = = Richard S.

To realize the value of one day: Ask the coach whose star player had stomach flu during the championship game. To realize the value of one hour: Ask the lovers who are waiting to meet. To realize the value of one minute: Ask a person who has missed the train, bus, or plane. To realize the value of one second: Ask a person who has survived an accident. To realize the value of one millisecond: Ask the person who has won a silver medal in the Olympics. Time waits for no one. Treasure every moment you have. You will treasure it even more when you can share it with someone special. — anonymous
