technical issues

well, its been a while - and its super frustrating! but my hard drive has crashed and is away in harddrive hospital...so will be a while longer - amazing how you come to rely on instant information, ideas and resources - ARGH! thanks to the local library I can check out everyone once in a while ....sigh - until hardrive is fixed I will be stranded on my informationaless island wondering what the hang everyone is up to...ciao til then x
