He's already bought all the parts and we went through this already - he didn't listen to anyone's advice. This is a bragging thread. Don't worry, it's very nice - you'll love it. _________________ [Threepwood:] ...that a sequel can never truly be as good as the original? -- [LeChuck:] Lies! Filthy, dirty, LIES!!!
