And with that post I go Platinum...

@Bob
Oh Lordy, Lordy, Lord.
He's only two rungs back now.
Don't encourage him ...
P.S. Hans: If I ask for this thread to be deleted, does that throw John back to " GoldLounger"?
And if so, is there a limit to the number of Threads I can ask to be deleted?
Thanks ever so.
Cheers
Chris

Re: Notes on data-mining
Do you want me to delete enough threads to push YOU back to NewLounger?
Best wishes,

Re: Notes on data-mining
If you want to save yourself the trouble of passing the hat for a new 20TB disk drive, sure!
"Unit production peaked in 2010 at about 650 million units and has been in a slow decline since then" I would imagine this is the internet gradually assuming responsibility for storage; no need to save the file to my drive, I can always get it off the web.

P.S. A feature I really would like is something that pops-up a warning when I hijack one of my own threads ...
C!

Re: Notes on data-mining
I have attached a 7 KB zip file with two documents.
Yahoo! is not good search engine for the data I seek, so I set aside this morning to learn how to search for web pages through Google.
Big Mistake; took me less than thirty minutes thanks to the first ten minutes of this video
Selenium is a Cool Tool.
So you will find within the zip
(1) A VBA module, stripped down from the original and, because I like living dangerously, all the "wait/sleep" cycles disabled
(2) A Word Document holding the results of my search in the Chrome browser with Google search engine.
This is fun!
Cheers
