Great thoughts...Thanks..I'll check back for further inputs tomorrow..About the Caps..sorry, I hate the stupid place the Caps lock key is on this keyboard..the only thing about my Mac I don't like.. Also, I have actually been using threads for a while if you check under "Gary" but have had nasty AOL probs in the past and was off the air..I am an extreme eclectic about music, and any topic from Singing Whales to Ragtime is up my Alley..
