[John Esak]

Thanks Boaz...
I'm pretty sure Scott has the SS CD's... He's just lazy like the rest of
us... :-) and worse, just forgetting simple stuff... Like the rest of us...
And his "duh" proves that out.  I know *just* how he feels. Sometimes, I
find myself trying to remember something so basic, it's actually sfcary.
When I do finally drag back whatever it is to consciousness, I can't imagine
how I'd possibly forgotten it.  I'd call them senior moments, but they're
getting more like senior days... And oh yeah, what used to be bad hair days
have turned into a bad hair decade....  :-)  :-(   Did anyone ever mention
it's a b*tch getting old?  :-)

But, thanks again for the nice words about the SS movies... They took one
heck of a long time to get right, and they truly are worth watching. I hate
to keep saying that because it sounds like such an obvious plug... But so
many times I've seen questions here which if they had just typed in a
keyword the whole thing would be right there at their fingertips.  And, true
story... Last week a guy I have never met or even seen on this list emailed
me to say that he had been designing filePro screens since the first version
of Profile Plus from Radio Shack days, and after watching the Design Screens
movies he felt like he knew only 1/10th of how many things could be done and
how quickly.  A very nice compliment.  Boy, he is really going to flip when
he gets to the processing section! :-)

John
