Microsoft OS and applications are the only one which crashes without any good reason, yet sells like hot cake because of their their PC based GUI (Get U In-trouble) features. Even an up-beat performance of 100% by the stock, will no way guarantee an improvement in performance by IDS or XPS engines, so we don't care. BTW, be happy that that you have IFMX not REDB, they were close. -- Have a nice day Felix K. Mathews mailto:fmathews@systems.dhl.com
