So what do you do when you're on vacation in the boonies and the messenger pigeon comes with that "the world will collapse in on itself if program X isn't doing Y by Z time"? Sounds like a pretty boring decade (or you are very lucky), but whatever flicks your bic. :)p I don't /have/ to rely on anything but me. You /can/ rely on anything, but with my way, you don't /have/ to. Plus you learn stuff it never hurts to know (sorta like learning HTML even though you could just use a WYSIWYG editor). But I *love* knowing how stuff works... a lot. And I like sanity checks. It'd be painful to not know if I'd changed something, or if someone else had. With your set up, you're putting a lot of faith in stuff you cannot "see" (and apparently been pretty lucky thusfar-- but it *is* luck), which is fine and dandy, but I prefer to make as much of my own luck as possible. To keep the "luck" contained to things like gravity working and whatnot. It's a trust issue. And a sanity/memory issue. I like to know *I'm* the one who's crazy and/or untrustworthy. :Denny -- God expects but one thing of you, and that is that you should come out of yourself in so far as you are a created being made and let God be God in you.
