Hey, pp4mnklinux, are you clairvoyant (I nearly said fey, until I realised that has a gloomy association in your fine part of the world ... perhaps more appropriate to myself!) or is it just ‘great minds think alike’? - - you see, when I kicked off this thread early this morning I had no idea you ha...
