Oops! It has been pointed out to me that I made a glaring blunder in that reply and the PC friends had bestowed compliments and not complaints! I'm putting it down to tiredness and having too much on my mind at the moment. I obviously got over excited at the prospect of being able to contribute rather than simply taking advantage and lurking. Still, the comments were valid even if direction of approach was slightly off. Apologies to anyone confused or, heaven forbid, offended by my reply. -- Paul Tansom | Aptanet Ltd. | http://www.aptanet.com/ -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
