No problem guys. I’ll look around the old forum and see if there is anything else that we should have here, or let me know if you recall something that you remember from “the old days” :laughing:

You really are kicking butt getting stuff transferred over, Jim. I’m sure it takes a fair amount of time to find it, format it, and post it.
