Thanks Fellas, that's exactly the advice I needed. Much appreciated.

Prices are always a bone of contention here. Even i Tunes we pay $1.60 per song and about $16 AUD per current album and that was while our dollar was near (or higher) than the USD....it's now dropped to about 86c. New Paperbacks in Book Shops will be about $30.

My daughter (33) is a Major in the Australian Army and is on about $90k if that helps with wages comparison. Son (31) is a High Voltage Cable Jointer (Underground Linesman) with our Electricity Supplier on about $70k including O/T. Youngest daughter a qualified Kindy Teacher on about $30 an hour as a casual. I'm on nothing an hour :-( , but I am (or will be) bumming around on an F6B

Thanks again for your great help.
