Hi Bobby. Thanks very much for your thoughts. Re: Technology. I am no computer wiz (although my full time job is operating industrial computers) but there is something that has bothered me from the start of this computer age. I believe we are putting more and more of our eggs in one basket here. We are becoming over-reliant on technology. What would happen if for some unseen reason - the system broke down? I recall reading many months ago that there will be meteorite showers in the year 2000 that only occur every 100 years. Problem being, last time they hit there were no satellites up there. Haven't heard much on that one since though. My point is that we are coming to believe that tasks are accomplished by pressing a mouse key. Talk about your virtual reality : - ). Anyway, enough rambling from me. Year 2000 compliant software doesn't work.................. biz.yahoo.com
