You won't do it. You;ll spend untold hours of your life telling others to do it, but you won't do it your darn self. You seem to possess the technical skill to do it, (or you at least report yourself to possess it), you are running the proper operating system to do it, and you have a computer. Now, if you, the orginiator of this supposedly "Brilliant idea" refuse to do it, even though you religiously believe in its merit to the point of annoying the hell out of people with your ranting, if *YOU MARCO* won't do it, why the hell should anyone else? Is that technical enough for you? -Chad Smith --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
