Hi Fausto / Loaded, from Dallas, Good of you to respond.Texas. Dallas reminds me of cowboy movies and JR Ewing if you know what I mean. Weather here is monsoonal at the moment. Here in the North of Australia, we have forever had unlimited speed roads. But, as of Jan 1st 2007, speed limits of 130 kph were introduced. I had until recently the rare privelidge of legally winding my 911 out fully to 240 kph on the sunday drive. I am loving being a part of the 911 legend.

A great "free" image manipulator is Irfanview. Invididual or batch image resizing, complete with adjustable compression for JPG files. It will also comvert between all image formats. And it's a great viewer, manually or automatically stepping through all images in a directory.

Welcome! I have an alternator made in your fine country, by "K3", Geoff Easton. 20K miles and still charging. Well, now your life will never be the same!
