Thanks folks I might be a newbie on this forum. I was only trying to help the guy out. I figure I have a lot to learn about these types of forum even though I have been in the Coputer business since the Mid Seventies .

Yup I am getting old so in a way it is nice to be called a newbie.

Over the years I have used quite a few bulleting boards but nowadays they are a whole lot better than the original ones.

Anyway I like this forum and when time permits I will post a questions of my own and where possible try to answer those of others.

I have great help from Daman and Legitmarten probably others too if I look closely and the vibe on this site is a whole lot less stuck up than the Digi one that I use sometimes.

Well Daman I get the new Macs next week I hop that just transferring one of the Internal HD's over to the new one workd as it is a lot of hassle getting all the Plug Ins and Software reauthorized so if anyone has any tips on that one I would really appreciate it.
