Mark-
Thanks for the heads up. I receive the List on a Wintel box at work, but I have
the good
sense to use Netscape to access the Net and send/receive e-mail, rather than
Internet
Exploder and Outlook Distress. Besides, if this box pukes I just call the MIS
gnomes to
come fix it... (Windows is great job security for those guys!)
