I agree, Al. (I play guitar, too.) But he's also the sort that wants to be told exactly what to do, rather than try it himself. He's a much better guitarist than I am, so I could sit there and say, "Play it this way," but I might be saying that only because I'm not able to play it the way I'd really prefer. I'd rather not apply my guitar-playing limitations to him. :-) -- David [email protected] authenticity, honesty, community http://clanjones.org/david/ http://dancing-treefrog.deviantart.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ How fast is your code? 3 out of 4 devs don\\\'t know how their code performs in production.
