We still pay taxes in our phone bill for the Spanish American War. If you ask for a detailed analysis, that war and a couple of others are thrown in there. Btw, I know and older gentleman that lives over here in NY. He is from the UK, served in your country's time of W.W. II, migrated to the states just after. His comments, UK is a nice place to visit but no thanks on living there. P.S. He collects a monthly pension from you guys. He claims he's able to get a cup of coffee, couple of donuts and the sunday paper. anything else, he has to rely on his pension and SS here. You cheap wards, you should be ashamed of you're self's. -- "I'm never wrong, once i thought i was, but was mistaken" Real Programmers Do things like this. http://webpages.charter.net/jamie_5
