Thanks BL, I'll check it out from a newer machine (won't load here). I'm always amused by those who claim that Jupiter enabled life on Earth to avoid extinction by clearing the Solar System of asteroids. Ridiculous. Jupiter's encounters with small bodies will always show a random scatter, and most of Jupiter's moons are relatively small and in retrograde, diagnosic of capture.
