Adrian, You could try SoundSoap 2 http://www.bias-inc.com/products/ soundSoap2/ It has a range of 'cleaning' tools. There is a free trail so give it a go. There are also a video intro of the program which may give some idea of capabilities. Cheers, Peder On 18/03/2008, at 16:29 , Skehan

My husband has an inverter for his work laptop, not sure on the stats to it, but it was just picked up from Dick Smith. I know you are able to get inverters that are able to have up to 4 appliances plugged into it, but I would be wary of getting that personally unless I had a dual battery

I agree the inverter is the way to go. I picked up a 300W one for about $70 from SuperCheap. I would like to tell you how useful it is but I haven't seen it for a while as my son confiscated it for his trip around the continent. Very useful for most small devices including laptop. He

Hi Neil, if you actually want a table cell to display a square root from another cell use =(A2)^0.5 which gives the square root for the contents of cell A2 in the cell you place the formula. Regards, Eugene On 19/03/2008, at 10:37 AM, Neil
