OYE! Sorry folks - I seem to have got my message not only all over the screen (at least that's how it looks on my end), but my grammar's as skewed as my formatting <'Nother "OYE!"> <with shoulder-shrug> (grin) At least I didn't get the world famous "Don McKinley Spell Checker" (teasingly poking fun at ya, Don.) when I was graciously blessed with the "new-to-me-but-old-to-him" Joe Bruman PC monitor after mine died, leaving me unable to logon at ALL! (shuddering at the memory) Oh... and Joe.... I think that your formerly meticulous rmonitor looks MUCH better now that it's covered with yellow Post It notes and assorted other colorful "stuff!" <wee smirk> Seriously, is this guy an angel or WHAT, for immediately offering me the use of his extra monitor?!?
