[link\|http://z.iwethey.org/forums/render/content/show?contentid=219405\|http://z.iwethey.org...?contentid=219405] Rarely have I ever used... != I have never used... HTH. My daughters both use (and I have on occasion) LimeWire and I've never had a problem with it. It loads reasonably quickly, has a nice intuitive interface, etc. For what it does, it's quite good. I know I apologized to you before, but ferchrissakes Scott, think about this for a second: You take my above sentence and imply that it is equivalent to, "All java desktop apps suck." Understand now why one might get the impression that there is at least some hypersensitivity around here concerning Java? Me, I'm bailing before I start getting called all sorts of names again ;0) [Edit: grammar] bcnu, Mikem It would seem, therefore, that the three human impulses embodied in religion are fear, conceit, and hatred.
