Hi Mqurice, ...wasn't that Bill Shakespeare who said it was better to be neither a borrower nor lender? Ben Franklin must have been just quoting him. Unfortunately, it was my error. Sorry 'bout that, Mr. Shakespeare... For some reason, I've always thought that particular quote was from Ben Franklin's "Poor Richard's Almanac". A quick perusal via Google reveals that the words indeed were first penned by William Shakespeare, specifically in Hamlet. In my defense however, Google sets forth that I'm not the only person guilty of that particular error... <g> Thanks for keeping the record straight... KJC
