Thanks for taking the time to respond to my email. I would have solved this
issue had I had direct internet connection. Unfortunately for me the only
connections I have had access to lately is "wifi" via coffee houses! I plan
to get with a direct connection so that I could access to updates! If I
have any more trouble I'll send you an email.
Thanks,
