I've heard Bill Gates quoted before as saying: If Windows 3.1 would not have been the most pirated operating system ever, it would not have also been the best selling operating system ever. So he knows the power of "free" (as in beer) software, and chooses not to use it. Too bad the RIAA doesn't see this either... -Ray -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ray DeJean http://www.r-a-y.org Systems Engineer Southeastern Louisiana University IBM Certified Specialist AIX Administration, AIX Support =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
