OK, relating it to music works for me, though as a brass girl, I'd 
always associated 'chops' more with embouchure than the rest of the 
technique. Good to know!  Thanks for your help, guys.  Since I'd say my 
programming chops aren't worth much, if you happen to run across a job 
that requires some mad CSS skills, do holler ;-)

Thanks again & good night,
