Thank you, Chris! Good input.
I was a computer software consulting for 20 years, ending in 1987, whrn I changed my career to life coaching (which I have now done happily for 28 years). So now I going back to learn a new language freshly (much different than COBOL and BASIC!). I am working on a long-term project to create an ³automated life coaching² website. BIG SMILE...
