   I want to do it, but I'm in the process of buying a PC for hubby,   
   plane tickets for my mother, an expensive camera and a new expensive   
   fridge.. so something's gotta give!  unless I can win the lottery.  I   
   just think it's too much in a way.  I noticed they are starting to get   
   too rushed... in and out and you feel like cattle.  And it's getting   
   more expensive; rather than less.  It's like everything else where   
   your money doesn't go far these days!   
      
   Good luck!  May the graphs be with you!
