One of the common tricks was to alter the writing on the top. Luckily the ink used tended to wipe off with rubbing alcohol. Simple lables pasted on top is a possiblity, usually you only find those with the less reputable dealers. You may want to do a web search, I've seen a site with some really good info on this but can't seem to find it in my bookmarks right now. :) Rick To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
