On the pull down menu vs checkbox I will have to disagree on the pull down 
menu.  There are only 2 options so a checkbox is better.  If there were three 
then it would be a different matter.  Also when there are just 2 you have to 
expell more effert to make a choice.  Leave the checkbox how it is.
