I guess, we will decide that later on, I would love to get VGA working 
even if the files remain in the

Let's see that next week. I have an important amount of code to write 
for a few other projects over the
week-end.

Talk you you next week, enjoy your free time this we if you have any.

Thanks Myles and Ron for all your time spent around this with me, this 
is well appreciated and invaluable.
