thanks everybody - i appreciate the hints and tips (as i always have) but i just can afford the internet right now. and its not worth loosing my job (turns out its called "theft of time"), or spending a bunch of money for laptops, and wireless cards and such. call me old fashion but i dont have cable either

im sure any chance i get (like now) i'll check in and read up on whats goin on, and as soon as i do decide to buy internet service this will be one of the first sites i go to!

thanks again - god bless - and happy hunting
