Me, I love unix, i hate windows, if i have to use windows, i use windows, i just can't bring myself to go and bring up a bash prompt in it..it's just not right!! haha, but that's just me. opinions are like assholes. btw, I can't stand outlook, maybe I'm just set in my ways, I'd rather telnet to my unix box and open up pine. I even tried using the PC-Pine port for windows, could NOT get used to it. -Tony .-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-. Anthony J.
