That's cool.... but not what I am looking for I guess. In fact, the spare machine, which is a small form factor machine from Compaq, doesn't have a CDROM on it. So.... there is no hope for running something like that. After all, I appreciates you open my mind on this, I've never expected that is possible. Thanks. The Saint ------------------------ Yahoo!
