Dennis; I agree with your sentiment, but here's something to think about. The problem is that these two things are diametricly opposed. It's very tough to have stability as well as a huge number of drivers. One has to sacrifice one over the other, or be willing to wait for one to catch up with the other. Like communism - it's a great idea on paper.... <grin> J. West
