I have recieved a number of emails from you and the computer wasn`t familiar with the sender so they ended up in the spam box. I have retrieved them this morning and I do want to thank you for the service. This is one of the best services I have used on the computer. I have done electrical work for many years but am nearly 80 years old and my brain slips a cog now and then. Thank you so much.
