(and the person who makes the argument the cpu cycles/ram/disk/io are cheap and human time is expensive and we just let it be solved with hardware is going to get a kick in the NUTS!... or whatever other part of the anatomy hurts when you kick it. grumpy grumpy grumpy...) -- ------------- Codito, ergo sum - "I code, therefore I am" -------------- The Rasterman (Carsten Haitzler) ras...@rasterman.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Beautiful is writing same markup.
