Thank you Tim, I have been following all of the discussions about the needs for hardware and I am looking into finding the best connection available. We are in a small mountain valley and the fastest line we have at the moment is 56k. I was told that I could use a doubled modem for 128k(?). I will have to upgrade the computer for sure but that is not a problem as I build my own.

I am learning a great deal from your postings and the part that scares me the worst is knowing you are seeing my trades and I can't see yours. Kind of like playing poker in a room with mirrors behind me. I feel like a gorilla at a NASA convention. Not very reassuring.

I know that I can do the trades but the timing and knowledge issue will keep me just barely making it. If you are going to run with the big dogs as they say. I will be working at it and in the meantime struggling to keep up.

Thanks for your effort.

Bill
