I thought you would thank your mentor/guru Greg McKaskle2 also.
I wanted to respond to every poster individually but balancing that desire with other demands made me decide to go with the gloabl thank you with that one exception for Jeff K. since I owe him a lot.

Sea Story time!
I have more than once mentioned that I am dyslexic (as if my in ability to spell has not illustrated that fully 
) which is probably due to me be effectively deaf when I was young. Surgeries and hearing aides never restored my hearing so I have never experienced stereo or those other sesnsations that people appear to enjoy when listening to music. I have a number of freinds that have poor eye sight and one who is completle blind in one eye so he has absolutely no visual depth perseption. Through my discusions with him, I have tried to understand my lack of hearing by drawing a parallel to his lack of vision. So I have an idea what stereo is but will never experience it myself.
Please note I am not complaining, only explaining (God gave me wonderful spacial aptitude, a near photographic memory, and other gifts to make up for stereo 
).
So in addition to not being able to hear well, I have trouble distinguishing letters. You could replace the letter "A" with the letter "V" and I would not notice. Similarly you could spell a word backwards and it would still read the same to me. You could only imagine the frustration I experienced trying to develop text based software when you have that monkey riding on your back!
But....
LabVIEW is a gift from God to a dyslexic.
So that gift from God delivered by the hand of Jeff K. Dr. T. and the rest have changed my life. Without it, I'd probably be designing optics in a back cube somewhere, counting down the days until I retire. As it stands today, I hope to help the the LabVIEW developers of tomorow when I retire.
So I hope you understand why I had to make the one exception to thank Jeff K.
[Set Mushy = False]
I will try to reply to some of the other posts as I can.
Thanks again for the congratulations and helping to make LabVIEW the best it can be!
Ben
Really intresting stuff. Never thought labVIEW can help this way too.
Ben, Why dont we see you on the labVIEW idea exchange forum?
Yup I am again asking it........

1) As a LabVIEW Champion, I have another avenue for feedback that is not open to the public. The Champions were already doing this before the Idea Exchange was opened. Some of those ideas are already in the works.
2) The Idea Exchange was a hit from day number 1. I did not see a need to help there.
As I get used to life as a grand-father (yes Olivia is my Grand-daughter, not my daughter ) I will check out that exchange more often. But as it stands now my Sunday morning time slot (that was being used to write Nuggets and develop demos) is now occupied by this wonderful little lady that can melt your heart with a smile. I don't expect is will be long until I can get her to do the code development that goes with my posts.
Ben
Thank you muks!
I got a kick out of you guys counting down the posts. An although I am honored that you chose an image of Strider being crowned, I am hardly King material.
BTW:
The "little kid" is Frodo of the Nine Fingers also known as "The Ring Bearer" and is a hobbit or a halfling. See Tolkien "The Hobbit" regarding hobbits for more info.
Ben
What do you mean by thanks ben? I am honoured. And You are a definite king material.... Dont be so humble. Let out the show off ben for us
