Hello Kevin, Thank you for your thoughts on this program. I think it's very interesting how it works, and I'd like to try it out. But before I do, I plan to do more research on it. I have checked out that Super Nova site before, and I don't like it. I seem to have a lot of trouble with it. The site is updated every 20 minutes. However, the page refreshes rather frequently. Plus, my computer seems to freeze up a lot, when at this site. I find it rather difficult to deal with. Thanks again for your thoughts, I do appreciate it.
