No. It's not that she's not answering, it's that it is bouncing back. Says it is undeliverable. Thanks for the suggestion anyway. I really wasn't expecting an answer until tomorrow or Friday.

Not yet Larry. The implosion wasn't so good, but the glass was clear. I'm still working on it. I'll post something when I get something worth the bandwidth :?:.
