Hey Cam,  So glad you're team won. Some of us must have sent some good stuff!

                  Don't know if mine helped but I'm going thru a bit of lousy luck here so

                  if you don't mind could you send it back? lol..lol      Mike
                                            p.s. You can still barrow it anytime

Sorry to hear about your wifes misfortune Deadstring. I was looking forward to your prison escape lol.
     Wish your wife a speedy recovery,     Mike

Hi Tony,  Interesting topic to talk on. We here in the U.S. are so use to the system we have and really

                  do not know any better. However it would be nice to have a world wide "common" language

                  to do business with so which would you choose? Metric.... because you don't know any better

                  right? And here.... imperial fot the same reason. Our measuring languages are just different.

                  Not that long ago the litre bottle,soda pop mostly, came here and oh how confusing that was.

                  No one could figure out why? Must be the "New World Order creeping in on us"?

                  I work construction(operating heavy equipment) and about 10 yrs ago I took a job on a certain

                  project that needed a grade checker(person that takes engineering data and lays-out this info

                  on the ground in actual measurements for constructing roads, buildings, etc. Anyway I didn't

                  know this job was drawn up using the metric system. Totally out of the "norm". During the inter-

                  view it was mentioned and I proceeded to tell the interviewer that I probably could figure it out

                   ok. Wrong! I had to convert the info so as the other workers could understand what was needed

                   of them. Since the job was a high pressure hurry up and get it done type I was so frustrated I

                   quit. Had no choice, it was more than I could handle. I could see your frustration as well.   

                   I don't see us changing to mertic, could you see the U.K. changing? We are probably stuck in

                   this rut.lol               Mike

Good point Russell, Maybe time to change my signature. You scared me!lol

Cheers to you from the great north west! Many more, many more.   Mike

Golden Earring-Radar Love.... long song and works for me,       Mike

Hi Geoaguiar, Yes, we unplug it when going thru the trouble shooting section. I will definately get rid of

                    it. Can you recommend a good one or do I just dig deeper into the wallet and the problem

                    solved? Thanks much for your suggestion,      Mike

I second that thought Pete!!!

Hi Mek, For some reason I knew you would respond and thankyou. Anyway, the router is a belkin N, mod.#

           F5D8233-4v3. My laptop is an HP 1550 Special edition 2004 model. Evelyn(gf) assures me that the

           the wireless is configuered correctly. I run windows XP and have been utilizing Internet Explorer but

           I think you mentioned somewhere that it was crap so I went with Mozilla Firefox. It's worse. Evelyns

           desktop rarely loses connection unless it's at peak hours and lots of traffic. Our cell phones are

           usually nearby but...? The only other device is a Roku box for Netflix movies and it also runs off the

           router but I'm never on the laptop and watching Netflix at the same time.  Thanks for your help. Mike
