George,

Hey, if you guys want to see a real programmer I'd invite you to go visit www.grc.com and be prepared to fall on your faces in humility. It's Steve Gibson's site.

Don't misunderstand... You're good at this stuff but Steve, when he was 15 in 1970 was consulting at Stanford's AI lab. He writes everything in assembler. Even Windows dialog boxes!!

And, to boot, he's one of the original 'Good Guys'. He wrote SpinRite and gives away a lot of goodies.

Highly recommended...

Best,

DD
