Thank You! Will Try Not To Ask Stupid Questions, [b]will Read First!

Thank's Again!

I know just what you mean pal. I'm 53 and just bought mine last April when the young'un grad-je-ated.

But please remember, there are no stupid questions...but we supply some really stupid answers sometimes! (Personally, I work at it!)
