I am not sure about the analphile part. I am not sure I know what it means or if I want to know. AN means without. Anal however means in its true meaning analytic. In psychology it may mean tendency to conceit, ambition, suspicious or generous in the expulsive phase..in the retentive phase it means avaricious, malicious, and obstinate. See where bad toilet training get you. The anal oblivious are those who just don't give a sh**. And ignorance, sloth, laziness and superciliousness are some of their better traits. :) Hardware is so hard to change. Software is frustrating in MS land but it is hellish hard to rewire one of those cards. They should make all cards super general and allow loading of machine language translated routines in order to get them to do what you want. One configuration it's a modem, another it's a video driver. Machine language software is faster than hardware coding anyway with todays MPU's. EC<:-}
