In my previous life as a computer technician, I had one client who called me out almost every day. He had just retired(so had alot of time on his hands), had bought a computer, and kept tinkering with it. My relationship with that client went bad, even though I liked him. He realised that my enthusiam for coming out everyday(even though he paid me) was waning and eventually asked me directly if I even wanted to come out anymore, to which I replied "I don't think that would be a good idea". End of relationship. Buck -- Using M2, Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/m2/
