      All I know is, Jiff peanut butter is darn good stuff (and made where I live, too!) :-D ACtually, I call it "JIF" becuase the 'G' stands for general or generic or something, and the G preceeds an I in the acronym, so both signs point to a soft G.

                  That's because you first replied to Chris Maunder's post and then to Navin's post, but I replied to Navin's post first. ;)

                    DANG! You are right. But I think it is still GIF based on this page[^] I just found. :-D "When a man sits with a pretty girl for an hour, it seems like a minute. But let him sit on a hot stove for a minute and it's longer than any hour. That's relativity." - Albert Einstein

                                          While you're down there, David, ask you relatives about Alabama law. I've long wondered if, after you divorce your wife in Alabama, she's still your sister.;)
