   The problem I have [or think I have] is that as moderator, I have to have my   
   own node address.  I have that but there are days that I could scream about   
   running my Oracle VirtualBox under Windows 7.  I did get your email and will   
   respond separately to that.

   That sounds good although I'm not sure I could adapt to that lifestyle.  I had   
   a major illness shortly after I retired and am really not up tp driving long   
   distances any longer.  It's a shame because I enjoyed doing that.   
      
   Take care,
