    Fu.. I hate permissions, tried a couple of times to copy and while it seemed to change the program it kept coming up with an unhandled exception each time it check twilio, so that's no good, so back to what works for now and I will play with it in the new year when I have time. Richie

    Starting my research into a Mini Mega Tree.....

    just my 2cents worth, whats your display area like, I have a small yard so went for a 2D tree but higher and used 8 strings x 100 pixels bent at the top of the tree in half, so I ended up with 16 x 50 strings in a 5m (15 foot) height, which then means I could run 8 outputs of a Falcon Player V2...
