! Though it pisses me off no end to admit it - you have a fairly unassailable position there. I am certainly working on my geek status but suffer from a Lincoln degree so have not really had any proper geek training. I suppose all the real geek-fascist leaders would have been writing entire apps blindfolded using their noses by the time they were 7, but I am trying my best. *-) Anton
