I took Paul's statement less literally. I interpreted it more generally as meaning addictions interfere with or damage other important parts of your life; relationships, finances, career, etc. Paul was giving the examples of time or money as things that could be impared by the addiction. In this regard, my Mac collecting could be construed as an addiction because I keep the extent of it from my wife, because I know she would not approve. Ultimately, this is a bad thing for our relationship. I guess I should fess up. Thanks for the help Paul. ===== ----------------- Ed Murphy [EMAIL PROTECTED] __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
