i so much appreciate your input, Ad, and was hoping you'd comment on this. i'm getting ready to leave for work in a sec, but i'll come back and read this again. i certainly do understand and appreciate what you're saying. i guess it just has to do with personal preference and personality too. how i am as a person...well look at those psychadelic blues and greens!!! i mean, i see that and it excites me so much!!! it's me!!! i do love the b/w and think it's very special. but those colors...sigh...well, it delights the kid in me!!! makes my eyes sparkle and shine!!!!! the b/w one doesn't do that. that's the only way i know how to explain why i love it!!! it makes me dance inside! it's like pure energy! ok, well, i seriously gotta run. thanks so much again, and i will definitely give your words much thought and consideration! later gator!
