Yes, that's exactly right!! Johnny,

I guess it doesn't really matter when using the schematics since positive charge flowing forwards is equivalent to negative charge flowing backwards...... even though there is no positive charge moving. I think I have a touch of OCD and it just drives me crazy know that neg electrons are the only thing actually moving around the circuit. Sorry to blow up the board but Im just really into this.
