Done!Just like that. Gotta know when to shut my big trap. Thanks, my Italian brother!This is the train we're going to take from Rome up to Milan! Excited as hell to see a whole bunch of Italy via train. Wow.Whirlwind action: Münich > Berlin > Rome > Milan > Colico!- - - -CASE CLOSED: The lowers case "i" killed the "1" character! And what a champion I am for missing that one. Uh, duh. Thanks to everyone gracious enough to write in with the answer, which, when you all stack the transmission up on top of each other, gently reminds me of my "dillweed status."- - - -JUST LIKE THE MAN SAYS: Dusty Mendes comes at me—swinging wildly—with this one: "A small but solid collection of vintage boxing memorabilia."
