A quote from the joke - "A toaster that only makes toast will soon be obsolete." - Hmmm, does it matter whether it can do white bread or brown bread? Groete / Greetings Elardus Engelbrecht [1] - At my previous house I have these devices - garden sprinkler timers, geyser timer, swimming pool filter timer, programmable alarm system, lighting timer, then of course I have 3 computers to play with. Nice to have them, until they break... ask me how I know it. ;-[ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
