Thanks for the words of encouragement, folks. Actually I'm not doing that bad, have learned a lot with your help and the help of others. The apple folks have been helpful as well, but I'm reluctant to call for their assistance - the las time I got in a hassle with a second-tier advisor, I wanted to know how to delete something created at his advice, which turned out to be the wrong thing. "can't tell you to do that, I can only advice you" Uh?... well, then, advise me how to delete/remove it, because I'm not sure I know how... it is wrong to assume every one should know as much as you do! At 92 I think I'm doing darn well.
