I'll check that out, though I never liked the idea of storing my data on
someone else's machine.

Well, I tried working with Cosmo, but it isn't working for me.  I'll check
out Google.

<OT> Here's the problem with Cosmo:
It requires Maven and Java.  I can install Java, but Maven is looking for a
file that Java isn't providing: tools.jar.  I downloaded and installed JDK
1.5 directly from Sun, but no tools.jar.  I can't seem to find a substitute.
Not that I want to take up any more list time or patience on this one, but
wanted to add the info just in case anyone was curious.  Anyone with more
info can feel free to contact me offline.  Thanks! </OT>
