Now that is the business !!!!

I've also installed as my saver, knocking Helios off its two year reign.

Funny thing was as the "Agents Dispatched" message came up there was a knock at the front door

Cheers

Wow, fantastic response!

I'm just about to order a P4 3ghz with a radeon 9800 from alienware, so I'll not bother writing efficient code in the future
