Interceptor... I saw that earlier....? Going forwards I'll stop running and walk slowly through this. Thank you.
By the way the Clock on my VHS VCR is still Flashing... I must read the Instruction Manual one day. (If you are not of a certain age, you are not going to get that joke). But in all seriousness, I am struggling a bit finding my way around all of this jargon, so I thought that before getting too much further lost, I thought I'd wave and ask for guidance. I've learnt a great deal so far on this massive learning curve, but obviously I am not up to this ...yet. Bear with me whilst I uninstall it all again, and start a fresh again. Many thanks for the Links, I'm off to do some more reading.
