That makes sense... I think I (and probably others) end up with a story that goes "once upon a time, back in the day, I tried that and I couldn't get it to work" and stick with it, never thinking about the fact that it was 3 or 4 years ago on a substantially different platform. It's not until a thread like this pops up does one realize that times, and platforms, have changed.
New tools, new technology, new methods... I guess it's the way things go, eh? Thanks for the thoughts, guys...
