Not at all Kevin, I appreciate the suggestions. I think I had better make a ram check of some substance... And I suppose I should get a *new* battery, I put a "better" one in a couple of days ago, it comes up to full voltage unlike the one I replaced. The date and time have never been a prob, but I have heard there is more to it... Why does it ever start and act all good like. I am fond of this machine, but if it is fooling with me, stringing me along in any way I will ... I will... no I better say nuthin', it could get nastier still ...
