I guess many of us have similar experience with Dave. He also helped me a lot when I first started doing Linux development. I learned a lot from him and will miss him a lot. His teachings, I will always carry with me. Thanks Dave for all your help. Rest in Peace, my friend. -- balbi ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Xperia(TM) PLAY It's a major breakthrough.
