A car salesman could sell you many different kinds of cars. He honestly believes you are better off with the van, because you have a growing family. You are hell bent on buying the sports car. You try to sell the van, but when it comes down to it, you'll sell him the sports car if that's what he's going to buy (from you or not). Does that make your argument to buy the van unsound? No, just 'advice untaken'. -- James > >Tony > > >> >>-- >>James >> >> >>> >>>A very happy windows user.... >>> >>>Ernst.
