You need not put it down to lack of skill, though! - Jeff -- GUADEC 2008: Istanbul, Turkey http://www.guadec.org/ "Science helps a lot, but people built perfectly good brick walls long before they knew why cement works." - Alan Cox -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
