hey there Charlie.. don't quite go back to C 64 days as I'm an oldie having
started with FS 98 and Win 98. Had to learn from scratch and still have not
had a computer lesson. We get there with a struggle.This group has helped me
a lot in that respect.
Anyway your site looks fab. I play country lead guitar and we will leave it
at that on this NG.
Cheers
Don Buttimore
