Thanks Wolf...

I remember hearing that name from some time ago and couldn't recall it. That is exactly what I was looking for.

Take care,

Tenor

Remember to becareful with these sprays, they will destroy the plastic inserts on multi cables. Use a Contact Cleaner found at electronic stores to be safe.
