spinal	I'm humbled to be in the company of someone who was online before the www took off. I myself wasn't born until 81, so didn't get online until the mid to late 90's. Back at that point most people already had 28.8 modems, a couple still had 14.someting, I believe by the time I got my first PC, 56 was the norm, however the web hadn't really evolved into the waste of time it is now. -=-=- Check out my excellent homepage!
