"Here's a free loaf of bread." "What!! It isn't sliced... I want mine sliced... Hey, this is whole wheat! I want plain white! Where's the butter!!" You're not in a restaurant, you are *NOT* being served. If you want to be *SERVED*, go shell out the $$$$ for $CO or Micro$oft. Better yet, find a local TLUG group and offer $$ for some high-school/college hacker to fix it for you. Kin Lau
