plus I hope it'll become a place where I'm not the only one helping out people who are stuck :lol: Hey, I'm already helping out :crazy: At the top of each forum (hardware, software etc) there is a "Subscribe forum" link. I've clicked that and so get an email each time there is some activi...

Cool. Thanks for letting us know.
