He popped up in another thread I posted in, sounding more like a person looking for help than a troll this time; I suggested he post his system specs, and he did. I'm not familiar at all with dual-Xeon systems; if they're phony specs someone will catch him out. But it's starting to sound like he is real, *very* rich, and had this system built for him (or his dad did) and doesn't understand it; expects things to just work. I wonder now if some of the things that sound like ego, including his screen name, are due to an imperfect understanding of English...time will tell, but for now I am going to answer his questions, when I come across them, as I would anyone's. Can't hurt.

Of course not. I thought he might be real too, but with problems understanding English. We still had a few harmless laughs anyway ;-) -- =========== John Braner jbraner(a)NOblueyonderSPAM.co.uk http://cdbaby.com/cd/JohnBraner http://www.soundclick.com/johnbraner
