One day, while I was slogging through the electrons, "St." <dot### [at] dotcom> 
nearly zapped me with the following bolt of lightning:

Oddly enough, I just got a faster computer, although I'm still far behind 
on the tech curve :)

My new toy is an AMD 366 w/ 128 Megs of RAM and a 2.37 Gig HD.
Give me a couple of days to get settled into my new tech environment & I'll 
see what I can do . . with the old computer, it would take most of a day to 
do something screen-size.
