Why is it that whenever I get on here lately, someone has just given the right answer and there is nothing for me to do?! LOL Well, I have my new computer set up, so maybe I will have a little more time to check the next one out!

You got yourself a new 'puter? Congrats.

Thanks. It is actually James's "old" computer (bought in March, or around there). James got a quad-core in May and is finally getting it set up. We will give my old one (bought in 2005) to the neighbor boys. I am definitely enjoying my new one!
