Hi, Brenda and list: Brenda, I enjoyed your comments immensely. I am concerned about the upgrades. I was once really excited, but I seem to hear "I'm sorry, but it won't be happening that this upgrade." That's not a put down to anyone. I may just stay where I am, because it seems to be working. If you look at the upgrade, and shipping and handling, if you don't have a sma, you're looking at better than $400. I may decide to be happy where I am. I want to tell you, and all of the people who have helped me that you are really appreciated. I've collected an abundance of information that is priceless. Thanks. Rhonda with a grin
