I am sorry to report that I have lost my internet connection. Seems like the LNB on my satellite system has failed. I am using a friends connection, for the moment. Therefore I have to end this thread. It is probably long enough as it is.
If (when) I resolve the internet connectivity issue, I will continue the thread on my web site which at the moment is very out of date.
I will post a note here when I get back online.
Glad you found the posts useful. I will continue to write, hopefully I will get to update my web page in the not to distant future. I appreciate all the comments. Much of them will be incorporated into the stuff I put on my web site.
