I guess I should stick to my usual quip and say "I wouldn't hire anyone who thinks Hungarian notation is a good idea" ;) -- Sean A Corfield -- http://www.corfield.org/ Team Fusebox -- http://www.fusebox.org/ Breeze Me! -- http://www.corfield.org/breezeme Got Gmail? -- I have 6 invites to give away!
