Nope. There are certain things that you can't do with braces on. It inflicts
too much pain. But, hey - if you're into that kind of thing...
 
By the way, there is a new scam out: Forcing people to buy Windows 3.0
in order to use certain software. I went into my local Egghead to get 
Pagemaker 4.0 and they guy says, "you do have Windows 3.0, don't you?"
I said "no - why?" He replied, "Well, you need it to run PageMaker". 
Then the guy tries to sell me a mouse saying, "You'll need that too". 

I say "shove it - I'll stick with PFS: FP 1.0" Hey, it ain't pretty, but
it works. Windows sucks, and they know it so they try to force it down
our throats anyways. Give me X any day!! Maybe when PageMaker for XENIX/ 
Sun/OS comes out next month, I'll get that instead.
