FORUM FOOL NOTE: I'll enter the answers in a separate post later today. I had hoped to be able to put them on as a "link" so you could go directly there to see how you've done.

Too bad, as it sort of takes some of the fun out of it, but I'm afraid my lack of computer expertise has defeated me once more. :o
