Same here bro ;-). You are not special :p. Well maybe you are, but,..., 
let's not make this too personal ;-).

But please assume that after spending hours basically on this for me and 
then after all of that you respond to the person who did the least 
amount of work and give credit to that person when another message with 
the same solution already existed ;-).

It does feel like a slap in the face yeah.

But anyway I am not suggesting I am going blind but I hope everything 
works out for you in your personal life.

And I hope having some peace of mind with your computer can help with 
that.

Regards.
