<font color=red>** 7 Wonders of the World ** A group of students were asked to list what they thought were the Seven Wonders of the World. Though there was some disagreement, the following got the most votes: 1. Egypt's Great Pyramids 2. Taj Mahal 3. Grand Canyon 4. Panama Canal 5. Empire State Building 6. St. Peter's Basilica 7. China's Great Wall While gathering the votes, the teacher noted that one quiet student hadn't turned in her paper yet. So she asked the girl if she was having trouble with her list. "Yes, a little. I couldn't quite make up my mind because there were so many," the girl replied. "Well, tell us what you have, and maybe we can help," said the teacher. The girl hesitated, then read, "I think the Seven Wonders of the World are: 1. To Touch 2. To Taste 3. To See 4. To Hear She hesitated a little, and then added 5. To Feel 6. To Laugh 7. And To Love The room was silent. you could have heard a pin drop. Those things we overlook as simple and "ordinary" are truly wondrous. A gentle reminder this Christmas season that the most precious things in life cannot be bought. A Blessed Holiday Season To All My SI Friends..... GZ

TC, Thanks for the info and url. I installed the program, since it has an uninstall program as well :), and it works great... as long as I leave the computer running 24/7 which is something I don't like doing!!! I wish there was a way to password protect WIN98 SE on bootup that couldn't be bypassed with the "escape" key, but apparent nobody knows of any. Do you or anyone know how I can remove the little window for the so-called "password" that comes up as Windows is booting? It is obviously worthless with a one user PC. Many thanks to you and all for your help. Marty
