Which, by some strange coincidence, is about what I have now . . . (While a 750MHz Athlon machine may not be state-of-the-art, it certainly beats the 166MHz Pentium machine they give me to show things on in the classroom. Whenever I show animations, I have to remind the class that the sky really doesn't move in jerky motions as the Earth rotates . . . ) -- Ronn! :) God bless America, Land that I love! Stand beside her, and guide her Thru the night with a light from above. From the mountains, to the prairies, To the oceans, white with foam� God bless America!
