Dear Don sounds fascinating and interesting but remember, i am the 'rocket scientist' that can't get the proper J going on any of my pocket pc's or the smartphone, nor on my MacBook Pro, and my 2 pc's are both Vista, and even my wife's notebook is Vista. (I do have a desktop with windows 2000 prof that i never turn on any more, and an old Toshiba laptop ditto)
