Now I agree that if you are downloading updates over a dial-up then that is a problem. But over a high speed line you just start the update and go to sleep or go have a dinner or go read up a book, etc. There is also a cron job that does updates automatically so you can do it while you sleep continually without worrying about it. I think people seem to want a lot for no money down. -- ======================================================================= The next person to mention spaghetti stacks to me is going to have his head knocked off. -- Bill Conrad ------------------------------------------- Aaron Konstam Computer Science Trinity University telephone: (210)-999-7484
