I think you're probably off the mark about inventers not having income as a primary factor, but I'm *positive* you're off the mark about most folks serving fries. Even the motivated ones. It *is* possible--once it was even fashionable--to be motivated to do good work *regardless* of what that work is. It's an odd, increasingly obsolete concept, called "pride in your work". -- |_ CJSonnack _____________| How's my programming? | |_ http://www.Sonnack.com/ ___________________| Call: 1-800-DEV-NULL | |_____________________________________________|_______________________| .
