I gotta remember that part, to comment on at work. Work isn't really computer related, but I've a rep as /the/ computer guy, there, and I gotta maintain the image... <g> So everything's rollin' along, and I suddenly say, "You know what? When I program a shell script in Linux, it starts with 'hash bang slash bin slash bash'!" They'll look at me like I'm crazy, perhaps say "What?" and when I repeat it just shake their head, and my status as computer geek/guru will be safe for another month. <g> Repeat a few times, with different co-workers, so it gets around that I'm a bit crazy when it comes to computers, and... <g> -- Duncan "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety." -- Benjamin Franklin
