Possibly, but you're talking to the guy who wasn't happy just dialling up and picking up e-mail through POP3 - I set up a second PC with Windows NT Server and Exchange server so that it could connect via a network to my ISP's POP3 server, download the mail through the main PC to it, so that the main PC can connect to it and pick up the mail that way. In short - I identify with NerdBoy, and I suspect my wife would identify quite closely with Mandy (but I won't tell her that in case I get shot) :o) >> >> ...Legs 11...

Numbers in Bingo are read out by the person operating the machine. Traditionally, they clarify the number they have just read with a little phrase, kind of like "A for alpha, B for bravo" like airline pilots. The Bingo ones tend to be related to ladies. eg "Two fat ladies - 88" "Legs - 11" There's also things like "All the 3's - 33" and so on and so forth. I'm struggling to think if there's one for 69... }:o> -- Graeme Porter -^-_ _ / [_][_]_:_ Proud owner of a 1978 /| _||_ v Pearl Fiberglass Shell kit | / \ | -=/=\\____//=\=jaa "I married Miss right, I just didn't know her first name was 'Always'" -- Anonymous
