Jim, I have a 'problem' that I have too many tasks going at one
time. I cannot complete any of them soon, and I have to keep all of
them moving.
I have recently grabed FreeMind to start documenting all this. I am
building up quite a bit of information in there already...

Did not get to it today. I will go for it tomorrow. Unless I get
