Suddenly I had a flash of the scene in Monty Python's "Life of Brian" after Brian escapes from the Romans and goes out to the hermit with the juniper bushes, followed by the crowd: "The Message! Believe in the Message!" "No, the gourd!" "The shoe!" "Heretics!" "Unbelievers!" "Smite them!" Seriously, though, glad to see the hardware diags actually worked. -- db
