There would be only a small percentage that will be re-written, but for all of them the increased time will amount to something. Now with the time I save, I can walk to work. Getting exercise, saving gas, reducing pollution and the carbon placed into the air. Not a very simple equation - certainly not simple enough to justify a flippant comment about disregard of the environment. -- Bruce ____________________________________________________ B R U C E K. klutch-at-erols.com -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
