Back again now the cat is up and running.

Before things went unstable again I was going to ask if there was any way to get missing podcasts or ones prior to the date of subscribing to a specific one. Whilst the cat was closed for repairs, I discovered an arrow on the i-Tunes "Podcast" updating page. If you click on the arrow next to a podcast it brings up a list of previous casts from the same location. These offer you the opportunity to download any one on the list. That means I am now up to date.

Patrick. I like the way you have started with straightforward basic elements, and then once there are enough of them, to assemble them into a coherent series. Let's face it - that is what learing music is about anyway.
Keep up the good work.
Geoff.
