Pick one of Red, Blue, whatever? If we include black and white, you've got 6 of the twelve months with colours. IMHO, that's quite a bit.

Bingo! I'd say that's a wrap. Good thinking from both you and Frank. Paul On Sep 24, 2004, at 7:36 PM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Steady responded to knarf's post thus: Some good ideas here.

I was hoping for a year of homework. Gives people a chance to pick up a book learn a technique. 1.
