I will need an account setup and stuff, as my ICC account has expired and I don't intend to renew until the fall (since thats when I am a student again ;)) FYI I opperated Yace in the last ICC CCT, and Little GOliath in the one before. If you can find someone with a better setup then my Celeron 400 /with 193 megs of ram by all means take em, I won't be offended in anyway. :) JW
