Sometimes your session disappears without giving you a chance to save your stuff. Also all the apps keep running when you remove your card. This generates so much load on the server, that only the employees of the institute could keep their cards, the students had to return them. Also, I don't know if the sessions really adapt to different screen sizes, as all our monitors have the same size :-) CU -- G�tz Waschk <> master of computer science <> University of Rostock http://wwwtec.informatik.uni-rostock.de/~waschk/waschk.asc for PGP key --> Logout Fascism! <--
