John;

Thank for all the information. Decisions, decisions. I will have to do some more research before I decide which way to go. Although I do have a background in electronics engineering I like to better understand the issues before I start “micro waving my house”. Hehehe.

I do not always embrace the “latest greatest” technology. It fact I was the last person to purchase a color television set that I know of amoungst family, friends, neighbors and fellow workers. It is fun to have choices and sometimes you make a choice for God knows what reason.

Tom
