As for the usb extension cord--- none exist.  I think the max link you
can find is about 14 or 15 feet.  I work in the purchasing department of
a large computer company in Alabama.  I have even tried calling cable
manufactures to see about getting one made and no such luck.  They also
put an end to connecting 2 cables together.  Usb products have an end
that is not male/female it's called a/b.  The usb A end will not fit
into the usb B end.  I do know that there is no length restriction just
that you loose some quality the longer you go.  Just like a printer
cable sometimes you can use a 100 ft cable and sometimes not

LEAVING THE LIST
================
To stop receiving messages you will need to send a message to  
[EMAIL PROTECTED]  with a command to remove you from the list.  The list 
manager  controls who belongs to the list.  

For example:
 --------------------------------------------------------------
       From: John Doe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
         To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
    Subject: <not needed>

    UNSUBSCRIBE
 --------------------------------------------------------------
