Hi there.  I'm NOT trying to step on anyone's toes.  It's just ironic, and 
I chuckle heartily here, that when fluorescent lights came out, they were 
the boon of mankind.  They save power etc.  And they were installed 
everywhere for that purpose.  Now, it's known more how people work around 
them<G>.  Let's just hope that the congress don't mandate that we use them 
in the future<G>.
