With one large difference in that if you put it in the terminal you need a genius terminal, but if you put it in the driver it works with all your terminals, including that adm3a over in the corner. And if you put it in the terminal you also need the ability to program the terminal (or terminal emulator). And sometimes you don't have the tools for programming the beast. _____ .-----. /_____\ Snoopy ./ RIP \. /_______\ qiclab!sopwith!snoopy | | |___| parsely!sopwith!snoopy | tekecs | |___| sun!nosun!illian!sopwith!snoopy |_________| "But we're only up to the fourth inning."
