This generally places the age bracket around 30 to 40 years depending on how early the person started to study computers in there life. It pretty much rules out anyone under the age of thirty, so your criteria holds :-). > > Ollivier ROBERT -=- The daemon is FREE! -=- roberto@keltia.frmug.fr.net > > FreeBSD keltia.freenix.fr 2.2-CURRENT #2: Mon Sep 25 02:02:31 MET 1995 > > > > Jonathan M.
