I can't see anything wrong with the format - you use it to its best  
for your purposes, so no qualms Dave :-)

You could think of cropping to squares, but what would be the good as  
it works as is.

I believe it would require another frame of mind - a change in your  
(pre)visualisation, and I bet you still have plenty of time to get  
there.

Of course, you mileage may vary as the saying goes here on the LUG :-)

Keep them coming.
Amiti?s
Philippe
