You end       having to garbage the same amount of parts.              It is like "converting" a valve radio into a transistor radio. You end       up with an empty transistor radio box, and a box full of valves and       radio innards that you have to garbage, instead of having two working       radios at the start.              --       Cheers, Carlos.              --- SoupGate-DOS v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
