(No, I'm not trolling or being facetious; I just don't have time to write how it affected me or how my life changed.) Nonetheless, "smack" still means "the sound something makes when you hit it" to me, and not "street term for heroin." I think it's a fine name. (I don't feel that way about the Gimp.) Maybe if we get some other people whose lives have been impacted by heroin to chime in, the question will be settled quickly one way or the other. Rob
