Thanks, Joe, for saying what I wanted to say, only doing so much better than I
could.  I, too, have been working with MPE since 1979, and computers in general
for longer than I care to think about.  I'm definitely certifiable, although not
certified ;).  Your last sentence in the above says it all.
