Peg/Glenn - good stuff. My problem is that I don't think things through when I see an old truck, I JUST WANT IT.

It's the same link as "On the Road Again."

I wrote that stuff some time ago, never thinkin' anyone would even read it, let alone have it snatched up by Peg and plastered all over the Tech Tips wall.
Thanks, Peg, for takin' the time to edit and make it all "gussied up" and purdy.
Kimberley, just 'cause I wrote that while settin' at the typin' keyboard don't mean I would do any of it myself if I saw some truck that gave me a horrible itch.

John did all the purdee-fying. I did fix the first broken link (at the top of the page). I didn't realize it was listed below until red58 flagged me. John really like it. Otherwise, he wouldn't have snagged it  Thanks. Alls fixed. Peg
