Thanks to you two above for all of the great advice. It's great to know I can always come here and get so many quick, intelligent responses. My only regret is not doing this many years ago.

This particular quote stuck out to me because it's so true.

That is EXACTLY how I was when I started using computers, and now it's like night and day. You guys are great.
