This implies that you can not bring in a box of covers and run the store of 3000's for nothing. Although it's an interesting concept.. bring in 3 covers, and ask for your $800 change from the purchase of a 25/50. -- Michael M Morrison /| |\ mmm@reaper.chi.il.us | | Cash, for Cache.. | | reaper!mmm@miroc.chi.il.us \| Hmm.. sounds fair. |/
