If I turn my good ear to you [1] and concentrate, I can kinda, sorta, understand you. Thanks Webster 1. I was a professional musician for 10 years and after sitting to the left of the horns, trumpets and trombones for so many years, my right ear is about shot.

A British doctor told another Brit to DRINK LESS??????? What is up with that nationalistic socialistic medicine y'all have over there??? :) [1] Thanks Webster 1. Before anyone gets their panties in a wad, James and I have known each other for a while now so I can give him all the grief and harassment I want!

So as with the public speaking, I am a total virgin in this arena as well....do any of the list members (obviously, particularly those with publications to their names) have any pearls of wisdom or resources or best practices to share? I'm a fairly accomplished writer - it's more layout, style, content, tips and hints I am after. I'm very quick at putting words down on paper so I'm hoping not to spend more than a few months on this, but I recognize this may be an unduly short period for a properly authored resource. As always, the help of the list is greatly appreciated and of immense value. Cheers, JR -- James Rankin Technical Consultant (ACA, CCA, MCTS) http://appsensebigot.blogspot.co.uk
