Lawrence, Thanks. I'm sure the list has many things to offer me, in fact, it already has offered me many things. I was tired and, frankly, depressed/angry about my circuit and stuff at work. I shouldn't have taken it out on myself, at least not publicly on the list. My class starts Thursday, so I may make some more posts before then.
