Well, to write the smallest and most efficient code possible, the developers would need to write in pure assembly language. I guess we can all agree that, that is not about to happen anytime soon. Personally, I think they do a good job. You cannot please everyone, which is why I believe in the old saying: "If you cannot please everyone, then you better please yourself." Besides, I would not go around bad mouthing large corporations. You, exactly like them, have your own self interest as a priority. The difference, is that they have the clout to get what they want, and you don't. Therein lies the problem. As usual, just my 2¢. -- Gerard [EMAIL PROTECTED] No wonder Clairol makes so much money selling shampoo. Lather, Rinse, Repeat is an infinite loop!
