Um, I noted you might not be a computer Ubergeek, at least not amongst
other computer geeks. You may be a computer geek among geeks.
It's why I call myself a wizardess rather than a guruess. Wizardish
critters can work magic; but, they almost never explain it. (Often
they can't.) Guruish critters can work even greater magics and can
explain it to those who listen. I'm not good at explication. {^_-}
Hey, I LIKE good puzzles. (And I drily note that slinging Direct Show
around for broadcast TV hardware pays me a heck of a lot more than I can
make in the Linux world. I'd RATHER be earning it in the Linux world
with a similar consulting from home setup. But it's not in the cards.)
{^_-} And MS software is, if nothing else, an immense puzzle to get it
all working right.
