lol --socrates -- i`m not that smart dude nothing sneaky - i was just really wondering -- "how the fck does that work" anyway, i have a rough idea ( very rough ) no need to jump through anymore hoops for me I`m glad you responded in this thread though i always wondered who was behind these projects and if they really knew what was going on i think you are most likely the real deal, so it makes me confident that you got this under control and i should just let it fly and enjoy it ------------------------------------------------------------------------ oshcar's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=71999 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=114947 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
