I don't where any of you are located, but here in the U.S. I pay a flat monthly fee for a local service phone line, and a flat fee to my ISP for unlimited service. So it doesn't matter how long I'm on, it still costs the same. I downloaded (Several times until I got it right, I'm new too) and installed using both ftp and a DOS partition, mainly just to see if I could do it. I didn't buy the cd's but I did buy the book (And a shirt. You know, been there, done that, got the shirt 8-) And I highly recommend the denim shirt, it's a beauty!). -- Walter in·tel·lec·tu·al n.
