>>Darin, What you need is a supercomputer, the only real issue that I see is price vs performance. If you have the money, performance can be bought to meet your needs. BB... I only wish I had a supercomputer... but the fact remains that people claim that we have all the power we need... this is just not the case.. I perform routine chores on my computer which take far too long to do (creating high quality PDF is just one example).. this is analagous to running calculations on a 386 that used to take 3 minutes but now take 3 seconds on a PII or PPro... users will always demand that routine task are done instantly, and right now, for some users they are not even with relatively high end PCs Darin
