You would mention hal wouldn't you? :-@ :-@ I have the flu, nasty one at that, and I really don't need to add hal to my list right now. That said, the Doctor called and the blood tests said I was healthy as a horse, other than being sick as a dog. :/ Sort of like software, supposed to work great out of the box but usually doesn't. Imagine me on windoze. O_O Dale :-) :-) P. S. I'm not sure about the living part yet. It's a theory that is yet to be proven. -- I am only responsible for what I said ... Not for what you understood or how you interpreted my words!
