Wow it is hard to believe this thread was started back in March of '06 lots of fun to read through for me anyway...... might have to buy a printer and put it all in a folder like BillyMac did years ago so when they lock me away in the rubber room i'll have something to read Derek now that you have mastered the art of turning on the win light more often than not it is time to step up into the $$$$$$ paying classes to build up the account Congrats again guys and save me a spot on the floor in Indy
