4 Days, and 28 posts all for you, and that's not "nurturing" enough ? Sorry buddy, but if you can not step up to the plate, and learn what you need to learn. IN order to get things done. I do not care what board you're going to use. You'll never get anything working. Anyway, do you see the thanks those of us who volunteer our time to help such nice people as yourself gets us ? A flipping kick in the teeth. Good riddance.
