Ug Graham AKA Kaveman

Yep one and the same , have spent the last three years concentrating 
on property , and the time for new purchases there has come to an 
end IMHO.

Interesting to note that while we both used to use ezy charts we've 
both changed.  Nice to see a program that allows for testing systems 
at a reasonable price.

Will email you 

Regards See Change aka Cliff
