    I want to leave you all with something controversial while I go to bed, so my mailbox will be full of fun comments to read tomorrow morning, but I just can't think of anything. So, on a side note, I hooked up a 600 watt power inverter to a Isobar power strip. After some strange noises, the power inverter died and when I plugged the power strip directly into the wall it made this loud "brap" sound and smoke started pouring out of it. I guess it doesn't like modified sine wave 120VAC. After I ignored the warnings on the power inverter and opened it up, I discovered I'd blown 90 amps worth of fuses. Wow. Marc Help! I'm an AI running around in someone's f*cked up universe simulator.

      Holy crap, sounds like it really didn't like the power source. 90 amps, geez. Brad Jennings "if the golden arches shut shop, where else are the VB people going to get work." - Colin Davies
