Thanks for the reply; I was trying to be cheap, not buy any books (or even brose, for that matter) and hope someone had a pic or a resource to fall in my lap :)
Not only cheap but lazy too! Wish in one hand.....

Hey, 'least they're honest about it!
Yeah I know,
I was sympathizing with the guy... I have so many books and tools, and the more I get the more I need. It seems like its always an uphill battle.
Mike always has links or resources available, and with the work he gets, I figured he had every 'build in' book available.
Also its in the 'design' lounge forum, where lazy is expected. lol
