I'm the one who made the original posting, (albeit from a different machine and account name). Just thought I'd insert a little disclaimer to avoid flames... The deal on the system is the side effect. Making money helping people is the primary reason. I thought it was explicit in the original posting. Yes I agree with you and warn anyone reading this thread. Getting a dealers license for one or two systems is not good. -- |"But Yossarian, what if everyone pa1568@sdcc13.ucsd.edu | thought that way?"
