 Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me. |

Glen I'm in! Thanks to you and your dad. This is something I will definitely do. There's a good lesson near the end of the video too. It's something Oz has drilled into me as well; build what works first, then try all your crazy experimental stuff. But, build a working, conventional model first. Thanks again. Another item on my "to-do" list isn't what I needed, but this is just too cool to pass up! . . . . . Mac Nothing difficult is ever easy!
