You're thinking of "uncounted", which means "not counted yet". The dictionary definition of countless is "too many to count" (Pocket Oxford), which I suppose could be 11 for some people if they didn't take their shoes and socks off. Mathematically, any finite integer is able to be counted, so "countless" is equivalent to "infinite in number". This is definitively faulty logic. The number could be countless do the other reasons like time constraints and so on :) Cheers Tommy [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://homepage.mac.com/tgrav/ "Any intelligent fool can make things bigger,  more complex, and more violent.
