I'm glad to hear it CaliforniaPeggy. It warms my heart, you see, I am a 40+ year Computer Tech, who was forced into early retirement at 60 years (I suspect because of my salary after 21 years with the Federal Judiciary). Everyone in the office loved me (my skills), so I know it wasn't because of job performance. I know I was very good at my job.

Anyway, since March, I'm now retired. At first it was difficult, I had some hard feelings about it all. But I've come to terms with it, but I sure do miss helping people. So again, you are welcome, I'm happy to have been of help to you.

I don't really miss my job, just the paycheck, and the thanks I would get throughout my day as I helped all our users.
