What can a program do about that? : 2400 baud is faster than I can read, and probably faster than you can read : too unless you're some kind of prodigy. I spell check at 4800 baud, read at 9600, and scan faster than 19.2K. I do not think I am all that special, I just practice going faster and faster. The brain is able to adapt to most speeds. The worst case was something I heard from a school system administrator back about 1981: "Why would anyone want to go faster than 300 baud? No one in the world can read that fast". -- Kenneth Ng Please reply to ken@hertz.njit.edu until this machine properly recieves mail. "No problem, here's how you build it" -- R. Barclay, ST: TNG
