I wouldn't generally recommend the approach you've taken, because you certainly have to know what your doing… but obviously you've got the situation wired and can maximize all your resources at a moments notice… Unlike some people you're primed for success… for alot of people when it comes they're not ready and it overwhelms them… I can see in your case you have a clear goal of where you want to go and how you want to approach it… I like it, its risky to an extent and staying on the edge can take its toll but I'd be right out there with you under similiar circumstances… One other point I'd like to mention as its indicative of your whole arrangement and which I find most admirable… you've thought the whole thing through, and have come up with your own individual approach, which would seem quite sound for the time being (albiet you realise the potential risk and are willing to take it..) you seem quite adept at switching gears as the situation warrants… I think that should your situation change, and should your needs require moving to NT you've got the drive and oranization to make that tranformation rapidly… alot of organizations couldn't handle it, which is where I think the motivated independent has a definite advantage… the ability to adapt rapidly to a changing environment… so while I've encouraged alot of people to get on NT early on as that really is a sound approach overall, your operational mode of flexibility could allow you to adapt very quickly should the need arise. I hope so, because it would be nice to see more people like you taking this journey into the world 3DS is entering… you unique approach to solutions would be a real asset. >> Have a good one << You too Amigo… John
