Andrew Lyle Global Moderator Posted August 3, 2004 Global Moderator Share Posted August 3, 2004 Neowin.net is a GOD site... this is why i switched over to using these forums. More into technology, and theres an answer to your question, a bit slower then asking over the phone. i can post a question, and reload 1 min after and have 1-3 answers for it. I love this forum!
