Wow! I'm clueless as to about 95% of what is writen on this e-list. I
don't even know what they are talking about half the time. However,
everyone seems helpful enough so I'm plodding ahead willing to read and
study anything they tell me I need to research. Learning new things where
folks are already expert is a bugger! I tested the Microsoft Beta of Studio
before I understood anything about programming and BAM! same situation. At
least you've got the thingy downloaded, congratulations. I haven't even
gotten that far yet! Are we having fun yet? ha ha! Life is for learning.
