In 3B, I was using the same logic too. About 4B, I prefer the second version with the "and" instead of "however", the second version sounds better. In summary, you guys have done a very good job! I am looking forward to the official release. Save journey during your trip. -- "Good Enough" is not good enough. To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift. Quality First. Measure Twice. Cut Once.
