Jonathan; Thank you so much for your mini tutorial on JAVA.
That was very simple and and certainly understandable. Now, if you would give me a crash course on rss and podcasts and how to take advantage of them, I would appreciate it. Finally, I can't get past reading the article about how to be a dj on ACB radio. Am I pushing the envelope, I guess I am and, hopefully, I can be of some assistance to you and others. Thank you in advance.
