Ya, IMADORK...

After I shot that off, I linked to the previous post (Part 1) and realized it was *your* blog, so obviously you did have some Exp. with this ;^)

I'm gonna try it later today, since the left side of my face is numb from some dental work, this looks like a nice, low-stress activity to fill the time until my "octopussy" arrives (My Dell dual Quad Core is on the truck for delivery today 8^)...

Thanks,

Lionel
