Maybe its a timeless treasure. i'm convinced that it's still a valuable piece of writing, i was only wondering if readers have spotted anything in it that's clearly no longer up to date since it is, after all, over six years old. is there anything obvious in it that deserves to be made more current? or, perhaps, content that should be added? anyway, i'll be perusing it over the next few days so i might trip over stuff like that if it exists. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
