Thanks for the kind words! I always feel I am a newbie in Julia, to be honest…which is a good and a bad thing… 
Yes, I did all that…I tried the up from within the package manager and I cannot get the latest versions that you have. The ones that you see are the latest ones the manager fetches for me. That is why I thought I may need a more recent Julia version altogether to be able to update these packages.
I also did the using for both packages…and I get this error. Any idea why that happens?
Thanks in advance!
