hey all, first a great big thanks for the warm welcome.
Leatherstockiings, kalerolf, kratos (btw, charming should be good :) ,) gracias Bayamontate, coryschmidt - muito bom! Acabei de voltar do Brasil ontem a noite. Othello1228 - I'm not only a diver but a cave diver. Talk about Type 'A' personalities! Maybe we'll meet underwater some day...
eddy79 - thanks for the pointers to the library, Hirlau for the link, and Lex for the collection of links. I want a whole lotta links!
Hopefully, I'll see you all around here and I'll get the courage and know-how to begin with a straight some day soon.
