Yeah. Computers have a strange way of communicating with people. When I switch mine on and it thinks I haven't had enough tea to drink lately, it doesn't say "go and make a pot of tea", it says "/dev/hda4 has reached maximal mount count - check forced". Maybe I should reply with "ln -s /dev/hda4 /dev/kettle"? Pigeon -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
