Macster, that's good Welcome to the Chapter of Hard Knocks in the Route Builders Guild. Now multiply that by a couple of years and it doesn't take much to figure out why some of us (naw .. some of them) get extremely cantankerous sometimes. The truly bad thing about it is the fact that it's also extremely addictive and haven't as yet seen any cure for it except 'the final chapter' RobertR .. ADF-M&RM at http://www.adfrr.com

Haha Yeah I know what'cha mean. It's been fun route building now that I have the hang of it. A bit troublesome, tons of restarts, saves and backups, but that's what it takes...I was just finishing up NED/DEM when I took those pics.

The above pics are truly classic, Brian! Nevertheless, and in my best Bill Clinton voice: "I share your pain." Cheers!

Now I can understand why you are in a bad mood sometimes, Brian ! I shall take that into account the next time you blow your top ! Join the RE Frustrations Club and consider yourself lucky you can tear yourself away from your monitor at that time. I things get on top of you, pack it in and have a fresh start after a good night's sleep ! Take Care, O t t o.
