Re: newbie needs help

Alright! It's beginning to feel like I've found a home away from home.

(I did notice that y'all tend to hail from the west side of the state. I'm 
camped on the far east side.....so close to the borders that I can claim 
both Hoosiers and Kentuckians as cousins.....just a hillbilly come to 
town.)

I appreciate all your responses (no matter how strange) and I'll try 
Steve's suggestion below. Will let you know how it works out.....but give 
me a few days. My most favorite things seem to get the least amount of 
time.

thanks all,
Leon
