helping me set up this Webpage, a lovely lady
called Ronnee for giving up her time to help me
whenever I send out an s.o.s and for testing my
tutorials and to the Script Master Mr
Edgar Poirier for writing this wonderful
snow script and giving freely of his time to
make it work for my tutorial.......thank you
