Thank YOU. I just applied for a "bloggers license" there, so I could add the 
updated list, but it's great you've done it already. I'll have to wait for 
another issue to come up to blog about. :)

Now I'm sitting here staring at the screen thinking, "OK, what do I do now". 
I'll go see if I can find a "My First Iliad App" tutorial now.
