Hope this helps! : Kevin <buhr@stat.wisc.edu> Again, when nitpicking, make sure **you're** correct: you're -> contraction of you are your -> possesive pronoun, as in "your two English-major friends" ObLameMusicHack: One night a few weeks back at work, the radio station went off the air at about 10 PM. Not wanting to listen to silence for 5 hours, we came up with a way to hack music into the PA system. We called the shop and put that phone (a speaker phone) on hold to get the hold music. Then, we put a phone next to it that had the all-page code typed into it. The speaker phone blared into the other one, which then sent it over the PA. Needless to say, the quality was horible, and the noise >from the 6 or so phones in the office could be heard through 2 doors. ObReallyLameHack: Remembering to hack my post so it actually shows up instead of disapearing into the bit-bucket.
