You have, of course, continued to invest in the newer compiler technology that makes such improvements possible... ...haven't you? I don't speak for Intel. -- Kirk Hays - NRA Life. Start your day with a little civil disobedience. Call BATF at 1-800-ATF-GUNS or 1-800-RUN-GUNS, tell them what you think of gun grabbers and government employees that encourage people to narc on their neighbors. Good for the soul.
