I just checked your homepage. You need some serious work on it. I couldn't even find one image after looking around for more than a minute. Take a good hard look at your pages. Lots of crazy ideas, some music to download, and some art I think. I have no idea if you're a photographer or what by looking at your homepage. I want to know how you ever got over a million hits on that. -- Jim Davis Nature Photography http://jimdavis.oberro.com Replies in plain text only please!
