This site will be going throgh a major UPGRADE this weekend!! So please be patient as the changes with make for, more speed and many more features. It will take me most of the weekend and I will be doing this after 9pm EST and will work through the morning. The site will be up and down during that time.

Paul,

Thanks for all your hard work.

Drink plenty of coffee, if you are working thru the night.

Your little eye balls will get very heavy.:tired:
