They are used for a lot of different things. Again, I       can't be more specific.              If a custom build with a tweaked distro counts, then sure, that's       exactly what they had in '98.                            --       Grant. . . .       unix || die              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
