The think that really gets to me is that not only it ignores it, but upon retrying a few times you get a Software failure system requester. Once again it gives you a choice of Cancel and Retry. Why? Has anybody ever chosen Retry and successfully been able to escape the dreaded Guru? Why the hell do I even get requesters that don't give me any choice? -- -+= SAM =+- "the best things in life are free" ARPA: paolucci@snll-arpagw.llnl.gov
