Absolutely!

I am about to embark on a vacation returning to work on Jan 7.

More then - Unfortunately, I will not have time to look at this today

Working hard - then playing hard :-)

I will dig into then when I return.

(Side note - we gave up on GTK# recipe and decided that Windows forms
are 'good enough' for us. This makes me glad :-)
