Thanks DJ. As I mentioned to Stefan, it was your post in 2006 that I
followed when I was
putting together my PCB junk box. I see I have all but the air pump so
I'm good to go,
Thanks again for the help, this time, and for the years of relaxation
that the Ace of Penguins
has given me and many others. You are a multi-tasker of the best kind.
Happy New Year to you and Yours,
Best regards,
Wayne
