Some of us not quite so gifted as you, Tom. Some of us actually prefer to hit the training room for a kick-start. I've always felt that a training course is a good way to get a structured intro to the essentials. No training course gives you the depth of what you can get out of the manuals, but it's often difficult to choose what is important and what isn't when your faced with +- ten very similar-looking manuals. -- Ciao, Billy I'd be in favour of apathy, but I just couldn't be bothered...
