Very interesting ideas! I know there was no hardware assoicated with it. When the tech's wanted to add software that would stay, they just rebooted and entered a password at a prompt right before Windows came up. That leads me to believe that it wasn't OS dependent. Hey, I could be wrong though :) _____________________________________ Julian Zottl CTO, Radiant Network Technology, LLC Getting ahead in the tech sector isn't about kissing butt ... you gotta sniff the right packets
