Dear Claude, I cannot thank you enough for your support. I posted this to Lugnet
in hopes there was another who could help me. Would you not know that the serial
tower vs USB tower was a question I had? I will get a serial tower and continue.
I know it is the most complicated of programs but what I am attempting to do is
just as if not more ambitious. I want to make this program work and then turn it
into a thinking artist that sees and then paints. All the tools are in this
program. I hope that I do not have any more questions but in case I do I
sincerely thank you for thanking your time with an old student. Tom Lohre.
