  1. Regards for all your efforts that you have put in this. Very interesting info. “Wish not so much to live long as to live well.” by Benjamin Franklin.

  2. I am having a problem with my down;load script for my new site. I have tried using it on a friends website but got an error. Script works fine on EasyPHP development but not on site. I think I am writing wrong directory, would love to email it to you with all the problems, thanks
