So let me unerstand your rationalization: Because Cadillac didn't give you a new Elantra, it's okay to borrow the one owned by the old couple down the street, as long as you only borrow it when they're not using it 'cause they're asleep, and as long as you return it when you're done? Sounds like an interesting set of ethics to me. Jeff -- Jeff Lasman <jblists@nobaloney.net> Linux and Cobalt/Sun/RaQ Consulting nobaloney.net P. O.
