In my line of work, it's not unusual to find someone posting for help for a few seperate issues withen a few days and then find out the person isn't some nice neighbor but a pc repair shop technician who's looking for a handout. I won't apologize for my natural skeptism, but I do apologize if I have errored in your case. -- "Is there anything in Guul Draz that doesn't suck the life out of you?" - Tarsa, Sea Gate sell-sword.
