first: thanks guy for the 422 advice, I will purchase today after 12 noon when the banks are closed (payday is Monday). As a low income worker bee, the fall consists of saving for the end of year big bills. The rest of winter and spring are saving' months which roll into the 'drunken sailor' spending of summer.
