Thanks for that Rob.Makes perfect sense.
By the way My Father in Law is a retired Electronics Technician.Well,that's not quite right he was working part time an electronics shop in Wales up until a couple of months ago.
The point is he is 80 years old next year and is as healthy as Larry.Good reason for you not to worry.
