    That was nice, Roger. Thank you.

    (BTW, I've downloaded a copy to keep.)

    Cheers,
    Paul.

    ... I DID read the manual! That's why I'm confused!!

    You're welcome,

    I've often wondered why it is that whenever we see a picture of Earth from space, it almost always shows Africa.

    Serves you right! (-:

    That's good of you to say so. More often it's a piccie of North & South Americas.

    But, yes, that's the reason I downloaded a copy. For once, their sequence of continental images included a near cloud-free happy snap of Australia. It was beautiful.

    Thanks again. Wishing you a happy NYE, and an excellent 2018. Be good.

    Cheers,
    Paul.

    Those are rare.

    I noticed that.

    Same to you and yours, mate.
