Barry, He's 68. He was using an old 486 of mine for a couple of years, and I was his technical support department. But he's a tinkerer from way back and I couldn't get him to understand that if I loaned him a car, for example, he wouldn't start taking the engine apart so STOP TAKING MY COMPUTER APART!!!! <g> Eventually, my support reponse time grew to unacceptable levels, so he abandoned the Dave B brand of personal computers and bought the Microcenter system. He continued to tinker with the Microcenter system (my definition of tinkering includes both modifying the hardware and installing and running random pieces of software without having a clue what they did) after the warranty ran out, finally stopping when he actually had to start paying for them to fix his "improvements". He was born 25 years to early. He would have loved working in this business. Dave
