If I were in the U.S., I certainly would do that. As it is, I'm in Chile; if I can even find something similar here, it will likely be more expensive (I found one so far, but it's a high-end 5.1 model and costs USD$40), and ordering from the U.S. is a multiweek turnaround time. Hence, I decided to ask first and suffer the wrath of the list for "asking the obvious". -G. -- Glenn Eychaner (geychaner@xxxxxx) Telescope Systems Programmer, Las Campanas Observatory _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
