Don't sweat it glennjan...if you could only see what I put my computer thru in the name of artwork...LOL. I always yearn for bigger, Faster, BETTER! What a shame that I'm not independently wealthy :). You know, about the cheapest upgrade you can give to your computer is an extra stick of ram. You'd be amazed at what a difference it makes. Of course, you'll always wind up overstressing your computer from time to time! :) Laurie
