Please put me on the mailing list for the file. I'll look over what you 
are doing and maybe can suggest an easier program to do schematics. 
Photoshop and Elements are probably not the best programs anyway. If you 
think about it, you are using a limited amount of symbols and a lot of 
lines with some text. I'll contact you off list, but I'm not up to speed 
in the Windows software world anymore. You can do schematics in those 
programs, but a layout (draw) program is geared to your kind of work. 
Some have called their draw programs CAD, but you are really just 
drawing. Illustrator is about the best drawing/illustration program on 
the market.

I know I'm sort of weird, but I like doing this kind of work all day. 
It's better when they pay me though.
