Hi Kevin :-)
You're very welcome! In addition, I might just add that, on occasion, I too
have had problems with some websites taking a very long..long..long time to
finally open. My ISP is Verizon. Sometimes it will take up to 5-7 minutes,
or more, for a website to finally fully load. Other times, I get a "Page
cannot be found" error. These are sites I know are good. However, the next
day, or two, or perhaps just hours later, the page will open as it should
and no more problems. I have been told that this may be due to heavy
traffic at the site, or maintenance being done by the administrator or
webmaster.
