I actually kind of like the way my hair is turning, though. Hey, at least I still *have* some hair left (unlike most of the guys I play with, who may or may not be named William!) Anyway, the worst part is my beard, which is really grey! But if I want to take ten years off for any reason, I can just lose the beard for a while. ;-) To paraphrase Robert Hunter, 'Oh well a touch of grey kind of suits me anyway. That was all I had to say and it's alright. I will get by'. (...from "A Touch of Grey", by the Grateful Dead.) Damn, that could almost be my theme song! Pretty amusing lyrics. I really like Garcia's solo on it, too! Simple, but melodic. Martin ~~~~~~~~ ___ MultiMail/MS-DOS v0.36 --- Maximus/2 3.01 * Origin: The Eclectic Lab (1:153/831) .
