Thanks for the advice, Alan -
With some more work (I was doing 1-3 and 1-5), I have it where I can *ALMOST* feel it sticking when I tap it with my thumbpad, so it's improving. I'll give it longer on the 8k and see if it improves.

Besides - it's 11:30 at night and it's snowing...what else do I have to do? ;o)
