Well THANK YOU!

Couple of thoughts:

Catspaw, WHERE do you FIND these things? Or perhaps...WHY do you find these things?

Rana, I HAVE asked the "sound people". Their answers have more variables than the ones to my computer questions. I think they are simply too far advanced for my little earth-bound world. Once I sat and watched while David Lang and John Sladek (sound people, professional computer geeks, and valued students) argued in front of my computer for two hours, about the 16 correct ways, and 39 incorrect ways to set my clock!.....it still shows June 12th, 1997.

Bernard: You're a man after my own heart. The world may scoff at your "smoke and mirrors" but I've actually done stuff like that.

Fred: The two gentlemen who run my local Radio Shack have rather heavy East Indian accents. They TRY to be helpful (especially when pushing the extended warranty) but I simply can't understand what they're saying. I find it better to actually KNOW the info, before venturing in.

Kendall: ANYTHING would be easier than building my "little white house out back". On the other hand, it's finished, and I've learned a LOT about drywall. Mostly that I don't ever want to see a piece of it again. I still haven't got my new Dremel yet, 'cause I'm still drooling over the catalogue with all the neat attachments. P.S. is it time to resurrect your "new CD" thread yet? If you can find a way to get hit by a bus,(or better still, hijack one) you'll sell 'em like crazy!

Thanks all. I think I've got the info needed.
