Yes, I did mean "ahead" but I'm an electron flow guy, not a conventional 
current guy, so I think that's the difference. We agree on everything else.

Also, in my previous post I should have said that while I disagree with 
Jim, I'm not saying he is "wrong", just that we have a different 
approach to design philosophy. His style will work, as will mine. His 
style is faster, mine is cheaper.
