great to hear other people=92s ideas and to find out about their setups. =
Answers are always changing as the technology moves ahead too.  So pleas=
e ask away!

OFF TOPIC MESSAGES
The list has become known as a mine of useful information and questions o=
n many diverse subjects have been successfully answered over the years.  =
However, please keep off topic posts to a sensible level and remember to =
try Google first.  A small thread of replies to OT messages will be permi=
tted.  However if the replies get too long then please move them off list=
