Hi Gerard,
that's great! Streaming media would probably satisfy all the potential formats,
especially the web-based. Again, i'm not experienced in these things, exactly,
but somewhat. I don't want to step on anyone's toes in here, and i'll operate
on
the "show-me-don't-tell-me" principle, i.e. leave it at this until i know
more.
Thanks, though, and let's hope to discuss further when you get a chance.
