Sorry I took so long to respond , but i was fortunate enough to be away on holiday for a week or two. So its back to work for me , I am trying to hunt down a copy of the software locally , as starter edition is unloved by all, the hunt continues ...... I had a look at the spotmau site and admittedly it looks to be the swiss army knife of boot up cds. Budget allowing i will acquire the above mentioned software and continue to scare people with my magic lol . once again thanks for all the replies.
