   Yikes!  So close and yet, so far!  That's over 900 miles away for me.  For two   
   minutes?  And, what ungodly hour?  Why can't they schedule these things for a   
   civilised hour?  :)  Not this time around.   
      
   Thanks anyway, Roger.   
      
   Cheers,   
   Paul.   
      
   ... I love the smell of Echomail in the morning.
