The trouble is, the word has now been corrupted... just as we can no longer refer to anyone as gay, meaning lighthearted & carefree, we can no longer refer to ourselves as hackers as the popular junk media has redefined it to mean the kind of mindless jerk who has nothing better to do than try to log in somewhere he shouldn't. (That should raise a scorcher! ;-) ) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Users are the curse of the programming classes"- Orig. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Brian Williams
