    thanks to everyone that replied, too many to get back individually but i
    took note of everything suggested. i've apparently come to the right place,
    i spent about 2 hours yesterday checking out all the links, your suggestions
    are exactly what i'm looking for! just in time too for me to blow my new
    paycheck starting up yet another collection of records. . .

    peace,

    john
