Glad I could do something useful to add to my 1000001 questions :) I feel a bit guilty asking so much, but it's just not in the docs anywhere! Anything I do I'll document, for future users of different setups to take a bit of use from, but I have to figure HOW to do it first ... that's the problem! > > Should I post an intro :) > Feel free. Welcome to the group! Thanks Bruce! Okay ... apart from what you already know here's what I can think of: I'm Ricky Buchanan ... 28 going on 280. I've been diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy, Osteoporosis, Neurally Mediated Hypotension, and a bunch of others. I take this to be doctor speak for "There's something wrong with you and it hurts terribly and makes you exhausted, but we haven't the faintest idea what it is"! I've been severely sick for over 9 years now, mildly sick for my whole life. I'm completely bedridden, using a powerchair (and usually somebody to help me into it) to get to the bathroom and back. I'm on narcotic painkillers and still in crippling pain. And I take about 30 pills a day, just to keep me "up" to this level. On the positive side, I'm a writer (non-fiction and techdoc), a computer geek/programmer/sysadmin, and an artist (drawing in pencil, oil pastel and chalks). I program Perl and make web pages, and solve Linux problems for people. I have a lot of web presence, since internet stuff is what I do - pretty much everything is linked somehow from my homepage at http://tertius.net.au/~rb/ so that's the only URL I'll subject you to. Not sure what else I should tell you, so feel free to ask questions - I love answering questions.
