See - that would be me on the phone asking for something like that!

Forgot to mention,  I think you should edit/change one word from your third last post, this being a family oreintated forum.   :)

Yes and it has a couple levels. There is an auto word changer, the first level.  There is also a tolerance level, so I dont recommend anyone "practicing" to find out what that is/does.

It has been enabled now. ;D

Right on, Norm. That soap tastes awful, and has a lasting affect.

Now Jeff can do it 'automatically' (and with no soap), so we are making progress. ;D

All this conversion stuff reminds me of the fellow that went into the lumber yard and asked for a piece of 4 X 2 5 foot 13 inches long.  The yardman said you mean 6 foot 1 don't you.  Look man don't try to confuse me with all these metrics  was the reply. :D :D :D :D :D :D

I find it confusing that you fellers say 4 by 2. We usually always put the lesser dimension first. 2 by 4, 1 by 6, 2 by 6, Like that. I guess thats what happens when ours heads are pointed in opposite directions. :D

Hi Jeff,
As I typed that post I thought to myself maybe I should swap it round, as Ive come to realise you guys do it the other way round!  But then thats how we do it, so I left it!  2x4 sounds strange to me!  :D ;)
Cheers
Charlie.
