My pleasure Peter. I'm always glad to go the extra mile
especially when it's to the benefit of a child's education.

| hello again Jimmy S,
| Many many thanks, the programme is working fine now I am sure my grandson
| will get a lot of fun and education from it. The only problem is that I
| can't get on line through the programme to register it, when I attempt to, a
| dialogue box tells me that Internet Explorer has encountered a problem and
| needs to close, this happens every time I try, perhaps they have closed this
| link now!
| apart from that it all seems to be working well. Many thanks again, your
| expertise knows no bounds. You wouldn't have any lottery Nos. for this week,
| would you!!! Kind regards Peter Bowers
