    you are not welcome

    Computers have been intelligent for a long time now. It just so happens that the program writers are about as effective as a room full of monkeys trying to crank out a copy of Hamlet. The interesting thing about software is it can not reproduce, until it can.

                      It's unfortunate that all the rest of mankind live blissfully that all things begin with at least one of whatever but in Commuter Science zero is more than a viable quantity. Still tripping up the unchurhed too btw. ;-)

                                        I even refuse to install the client software in my pc. On the occasions I have to talk to oracle from .net I just use one oracle dll to do it all for me. Saves Gb of space and all that oracle pollution. :laugh: And now that I've mention that name three times, I now owe them untold $$$$$$$$$$$$$:mad:
