Hello from Gregg C Levine normally with Jedi Knight Computers Did I imply explicitly that anyone on this list, is a member of the list, as a group, is indeed a member of the same crowd that R2D2, and C3P0, belong to? Of course not. I was referring to a specific salesman, and a product, which I have no visible use for. Besides Steve Guthrie if we had met, I believe I would have remembered you. I certainly do remember most, if not all of the people on this list, that I have met. ------------------- Gregg C Levine [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------ "The Force will be with you...Always."
