thanks for all the input ... working with vue all day in the office i would have thought that at home i want to take a break and do something else ... thoughts can be wrong!

this software - even with all its potential quirks, bugs and pecularities (although i have to admit i have been treated nice by vue so far) - is just so addictive! so i guess i have to get a new pc and a new big vue for home.

will have to start budget talks with my lady :-)
