Thanks for the heads up on that.  When I did my search, it turned up
quite a few of those.  With the link you shared, I knew what the little
avatar looked like and the name of the author as well.  I was able to
find the exact one that way.  For those who run up on this thread, it's
about 50MBs in size once installed.  Also, I like being able to search
around with my desltop.  That link helped me in a couple ways. 

I wonder, if I bought a bluetooth USB thingy and put that on my puter,
would that help any?  Since I hooked up my wifi router and it uses that,
would that help?  Or is the USB cable directly connected the best way? 

I think one of my problems is the SD card itself.  I can access things
with the phone but I've noticed some of my other cards do strange
things.  I've got one that won't allow me to delete items.  I even ran
dd on the thing, the entire card, and the files are still there.  I
think the card I'm currently using may have some similar issues as well
since when I format it with the phone, nothing happens.  I've ordered a
new and much larger card.  It should be here in a week or so.  It's a
32GB Sandisk card.  May wish I had a 64GB card later on tho.  lol  When
it gets here, I plan to use it and format it using the phone software
and see if that helps. 

I also looked at newer phones too.  I don't think that will matter much
tho.

Thanks much.
