Well, I am not even ready to argue that point...

You missed the point... what I propose is simpler... it is a radio--not a
computer... and still can be done by those who ignore the nay sayers, no
matter how loudly these nay sayers attempt to shout down progress...

I feel like a pimp in an old age home with hookers, no takers and everyone
there wonders why I am there proposing the ideas I am... grin

Warmest regards,
John
