Thanks Michael The time line stuff looks really interesting. I particularly like the dinosaurs one where small graphics are used directly on the time line. I could use icons instead of dinosaurs with a simple event name and time and it would make a brilliant diary of events. I need to check it out on IE (there appears to be an issue) and I guess assess if I should join it at beta stage (I'm the issue there!).
A very good steer, thanks again.
