-- Peter Q. Wolfe, A.S. Webmaster http://www.darkstruggle.com Alternative Email: [email protected] I agree with most of everyone on their points of view. Why not have a backup synthesizer in place in case a case like Jim pointed out happened? It seems to make sense and you can find the synthesizer list if you only tried or just turn off window-eyes with control and backslash and alt + f4 out of there and control, alt and w to bring it backup. In either case, it's a not a pressing issue at this time. For one thing the limited resources with the supply-demand curve with the 0 sum w without bringing up your inferiority quality will not outweigh the outcome.
