It was just a lottle hard for me to go back to search the forum cause I use my phone to do all this and hand wrote my assignments - no laptop or tablet. Sometimes the pages take too long to load or they are just hard to scropl through, but thank you for the links - they helped with other questions of this unit and made me aware od other methods of observations.
