Happens to me all the time, so I understand the frustration, but hang in there and eventually you'll be flipping them out wherever you like. Being able to ask sometimes stupid questions here to get things clear is always handy too- sometimes something that should be obvious evades our comprehension :) > Still, for the price (free of course) I can't complain, and it's not as > if I'm doing it for a job, or charging anyone for it.
