Hi Anne: I'd noticed you'd returned. I was afraid I ticked you off with 
my 'tin snips' crack (another thread). I do remember your previous travails 
with Samba. I'll keep this suggestion, but, until I figure out the mount 
problem, I think I need to put my limited time resources there - that's 
affecting other tasks as well - I needed Samba to print out my tax forms, 
but, that need ends today as today is tax day in the U.S. If you poke your 
head out the window in the direction of the big pond to the West, you might 
be able to hear the collective groan of millions of Americans struggling with 
their last minute computations (here in the U.S. around 1/3 of the taxpayers 
wait until deadline day to file).
