I'm not too sure about this info, but I've heard it from several different sources (not just hearsay) and do believe that the idea and technology are sound. Your opinions? Any help or added heartache? Have fun (optional, of course) Alan ------------------------------------------------------------------ Alan Dye ld2c+@andrew.cmu.edu "A shadow shall fall upon the universe, and evil will grow in its path, and death will come from the skies..." ------------------------------------------------------------------ Brought to you by Super Global Mega Corp .com
