  • ANNOUNCEMENT: Welcome to our New Moderator!

    Hey there Fellow Xsives,

    It gives us great pleasure to announce the recent promotion to status of MODERATOR one of our friendly and helpful members, Crazy Steve. He has willingly agreed to take on this task in order to help keep this site the resource that it is. Being retired, he also has "free time" to devote/provide towards the operational activities of the site. We have already discussed many plans to update the tech tips, as well as provide new ones that we are sure will be found to be most helpful.

    I would like you all to welcome his new MOD status with the respect and courtesy it so deserves.

      Thanks for contributing Steve!

      Hey TOPCAT, I understand that somewhere back in Ireland all Greshams & Clishams had the same beginnings. Supposedly, Ellis Island bad spellers caused most of the differences in spelling.
