Hi Alex and welcome to Codetown. It's nice to have another finance guy here. Maybe you can come to our next OJUG meeting on the 24th. The presenter, Eric, is a finance guy. I bet you'll enjoy it. You may want to join the OrlandoJUG group here, too. That way, you'll get an email when I post discussions that let you know about upcoming meetings.
