The problem is, my friend lives closer to Europe than to anything else, and I don't want to dispute with him about what's right and wrong in his believings. In addition, both "demon" and "daemon" are translated to the same word in our language, that would make the task of explaining the difference to him even less attractive to me. BTW, it's not only a European superstition, as this story indicates: http://rmitz.org/freebsd.daemon.html (that was the first link from many). --=20 Dmitry "We live less by imagination than despite it" - Rockwell Kent, "N by E"
