Good luck in your sale... And right you are! Someone named "Toy" :-), told us about this at a FAUG meeting 3 months back. Not only to you get the finders-fee, but the guy/gal who is responsible for the most sales, will win something like 500, yep, 500, software packages. (Imagine backing up all of that stuff!). No idea when this begins. Methinks it would be great to get on a computer selection committee for a local school board right about now. *** mike *** -- *** mike (starship janitor) smithwick *** "Being a dwarf does have it's shortcomings" [disclaimer : nope, I don't work for NASA, I take full blame for my ideas]
