Dan,

Perhaps I did misinterpreted Tord's reply and I realize there is an "forum
language barrier" but on the other hand I am not a kid who just got a big new
dual computer for Christmas and just installed a hot new program as was
insinuated.  I just drive them, I don't fix them or program them.  I come here
to learn as most others do.  Perhaps I should look for an amatuer site to ask my
amatuer questions.

And my position is to play anyone, clones and all if they are willing.

As I stated before, I will not bother Tord again.
