Nonsense, you've got to start somewhere. And it's free, if it doesn't work for you or is too frustrating, just give more money to Bill. -- Mark Lanctot ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=40961 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
