Your "Server boxes are cheap" comment is very telling; if I add more ram or a faster processor we aren't talking about the same web server. But overall I agree completely that compressing content and adding more ram and/or a faster processor as appropriate is the right thing to do in many situations. -- Jeff Trawick | [EMAIL PROTECTED] Born in Roswell... married an alien...
