Yep.  Couldn't agree with you more.  Sounds like a call to arms.  I 
truly wish this had all been hung out on the line about twelve years ago 
before my mind started turning to mush by terminal brain rot.  I can 
give someone a jump start with the Basic09 windows, but there is no way 
in hell I can tackle WindInt and GFX2 in my present semi-giddy state. 
 Hell, I just punctured a water pipe trying to run a video cable through 
2 floors of my house.  Mighty expensive video!  Think what I could do to 
WindInt!
