If Brett is unable to install a port, it's obvious that his agenda has nothing to do with reality, or that he's rambling on about things he knows nothing about. Just pointing this out for the benefit of anyone who might be mistakedly taking him seriously. -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com
