Thanks a million, 1951M1078! When it's broken down like that, it is all a whole lot more understandable. Excellent. BTW, you might have mentioned it already, but how much homework did you do on the Inverter, and how did you decide on that one?

USSR, you might know: - The noise is, if it goes "lame duck" that the current U.S. adminstration plans to sell the state of Alaska back to Russia - Then, I'm hearing Putin plans to appoint our current president as the governor of that new Russian territory - Creating a satellite Gun Republic...
