The problem with rebooting and the question of what's in a person's startup are completely orthogonal. I don't like to reload emacs, all the files I happen to have in emacs, Online, and whatever else I might have laying around in memory from my floppies just because a game programmer thought the game would necessarily be the most important thing in my system. If a game forces a reboot, take it back to your dealer for a refund. -=- -- Jeff (martens@cis.ohio-state.edu) Chemlawn, trademark, suburban distributor of toxic chemicals.
