(sorta like how Rare Ltd. is a second party developer for Nintendo, to make an analogy. Rare does most of the development, but it's sold as a Nintendo game) -Justin White just6979@yahoo.com http://justinfinity.2y.net/ AIM:just6979 _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
