Hi Max, Thanks so much for the info. I'd actually like to do a trial run if you don't mind, I don't want to look like an idiot when I have to do it for my job. :) I have a G+ account on my current work addie. Once I get past the holidays, I'll try and invite you to a hangout. Thanks for offering to help.
