Hello from Gregg C Levine normally with Jedi Knight Computers Funny, I met one of those big boxes. He, and a couple of PCs, as lieutenants, was working with a crowd, which included my mother, at an insurance company she was working at, a good number of years earlier. They were supplied by the company that the shop was acting as an agent for. The funny thing, is that every time I was there, everyone was ignoring the big box, and the PCs. I think the PCs, were PS/2 model 50s. By the way, how old is the 9370, and what version of VM ran on it? ------------------- Gregg C Levine [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------ "The Force will be with you...Always."
