While

Hi Nathan C,
No, I was not saying that he needed to stop. However, I thought it was
kind of funny / entertaining that the tutors here are helping to develop
his code for free -- and then he gets to sell it online! Quite the
efficient business model there... :-)

Brian and all,
I am just asking for help - after all I write most each program myself, and
just ask for help in debugging it whenever I cannot figure it out. If this
is being sneaky, I apologize, and won't ask for help anymore.

For some odd reason I love doing this...

Might I suggest that you use the built in min() and max()
because they are probably faster.
