(hint hint... i want to know if i'm right, ladies and gentlemen HEHEHEHE) You'll probably want to wait for some feedback before taking my word for it but throwing out my ideas because... well because i can. ;) Jerry. -- -- Registered Linux user # 300600 Registered Linux machine # 185855 at http://counter.li.org (¬_ //\ V_/_
