	John it seems has lost some of the spirit of the net.  I would 
like to remind him that this is a forum for computer professionals
to politely exchange ideas and programs.  I may just be an undergrad,
but it seems that if you were as talented as some of the "fools" that
use this net as it was intended ("but no nothing of computers.") you
might be working in R&D somewhere, have a better idea of what you are talking
about and not have to sit and listen to irate users all day.
