your welcome!! 

There is a compnay that makes a 3 way CFL fixture!  Some company in Ohio I
think makes it. And it is really powerful. I was impressed when I saw the
literature a few years back. Your wife can have a 3 way CFL if she wants one
Charles! Well Home Depot makes an effort at having some CFL on the shelf but
really NO fixtures, just lamps (light bulbs) . I would give them a C- in the
CFL department last I was there, but at least you can buy about 80% of your
incandescent replacemnet bulbs there so that is a start at least!
