You can delete the number from (1) after - it is no longer needed. Its not a formula .. its a shortcut for multiplying a bunch of numbers all by the same multiplier. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
