It's       OT here, but it would curl your hair at the scam I found Norton running       on a Winders user I spent a long day helping. Shocker, actually.              Again, profitable though. Hee. Only charged her for a fraction of the       seven hours though, as she's low income.              Elvish              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
