OK Schoun, you better hide away from Louisville after the 28th of the month. That's after my return from Germany, or I shall take you by your word,- I shall bring my PB and you will download Tinker Toy Tool ( how did I do for that alliteration!) and then proceed to show and explain to me each hidden file in detail. ( of course at no cost to me!) I shall bring the wine along, so that at the end when we get mixed up counting and you get mixed up explaining, we don't know anymore whether it was our brains or the wine that did it. -But honestly, do YOU REALLY know and can identify each one of those hidden ones? And by the way, I don't have Windows, but I would like to at least see the color of the files. Are they blue, green or perhaps magenta, or can you choose your favorite color yourself? And you know what? that head explosion isn't all such a bad thing- With that big bang I would leave this earthly Jammertal and all my quest for knowledge and understanding would have come to an end. That in itself seems a reasonable way to exit this life. Marta On Jun 15, 2004, at 15:02, Schoun Regan wrote:
