Which in fact does have to do with mental ability. Not necessarily with intelligence, but with reaction/computational speed. As my math teacher in high school, Mr. King, always said - "you've gotta be fast _and_ accurate".

They were referring to the fact that in order to get on "Who Wants to be a Millionaire" a person had to be able to use the number keys on a phone. So if, for example, you can't move your arms, it's pretty hard to punch numbers, while your brain may be completely capable of answering the stupid questions. -d Deanna Schneider Interactive Media Developer [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists&body=lists/cf_community Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.
