(www.hkdnr.hk is an alias for hk. - the same machine; you're not being redirected.) That's at least as reliable as my (multi-dotted) home domain. :-) I'm not sure what's not to like here. But then again, I may be blind. -- Ted Faber http://www.isi.edu/~faber PGP: http://www.isi.edu/~faber/pubkeys.asc Unexpected attachment on this mail? See http://www.isi.edu/~faber/FAQ.html#SIG
